The Children’s Theatre of Florida hosted a Hurricane Relief Benefit tonight at their space in the Central Florida Performing Arts Center in Sanford . Performing groups from all over the Greater Orlando area performed as well as a grand finale performance by Laugh Out Loud Improv Troup. All proceeds went to the Red Cross to help the Hurricane Victims.
We arrived at 7:00 PM and didn’t stop singing or laughing until after 10:00. It was fun! I went with my friends fron “Patti’s Place”, A home for the elderly in Altamonte Springs.
