This year’s artsIQ cast will be featured in the Community Corner at Experience Mount Vernon First Friday. The cast will be performing songs from Shrek JR just like all of you did for your shows. The September emphasis for Community Corner is Education and will feature booths from all of our local colleges. The MTVarts theme for the evening is “I’m a Believer in artsIQ.” Because we all know the value of arts education!
We will have platforms set up on East Gambier between the Mexican restaurant and the former First Merit Bank but also spill onto the street. Our time slot for Friday September 2nd is 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. In between our Shrek JR cast performances, we are inviting YOU to come back and singalong to some old favorites from past shows.
Here’s a list of the songs we are singing:
Little Mermaid: Part of Your World; Under the Sea
Aladdin: Friend Like Me; A Whole New World
Alice in Wonderland: Very Merry Unbirthday; Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
Annie: Tomorrow; Hard Knock Life
Lion King: Hakuna Matata; I Just Can’t Wait to be King
Willie Wonka: Pure Imagination; Candy Man Can
Frozen: Let it Go; First Time in Forever
Shrek: I’m a Believer

The Shrek cast will perform at the beginning and end of the evening. Their last song will be “I’m A Believer.” Immediately following we want to repeat “I’m A Believer” and fill the streets with artsIQ believers in a flash mob!
