Curtain Set to Rise on a New Facet of the Arts at the Infinity Center

The curtain is set to rise on a new facet of the arts at the Infinity Visual and Performing Arts Center! Beginning in July, Infinity will add a theater arts, drama, and puppetry component to its menu of offerings.

“We are collaborating with Matt Hamilton-Kraft (Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc.) to develop a student-run Infinity Theater Company,” said Shane Hawkins, Infinity's Executive Director.

"COI has a strong focus on developing entrepreneurship skills in the youth they work with; Infinity provides a unique setting to develop these business skills in a supportive, creative and engaging environment. Students will be involved in everything from making the puppets and sets, to script writing, performing and booking the Company when they are ready to perform. We're very excited to watch this idea finally take shape and become a reality."
