Cool Kids rolls into ninth summer

Cool Kids rolls into ninth summer

Cool is where we all want to be in the summer heat and if you need any proof of that - check out the crowd of families that make the one-of-a-kind, award-winning Cool Kids series their haven each week in downtown Brockport. "This year - it's big," said Director Steve Appleton. "Big" because several of the events are big productions, including the return of several nationally-toured icons, Rochester Children's Theater and Catskill Puppet Theater and some newer groups, including PUSH Physical Theatre and KIDS Project, a "cool puppet show that includes puppets that are blind, in wheelchairs, have cerebral palsy and special needs," he said.

Cool Kids is at 7 p.m. on Fridays, in Sagawa Park, Main Street, Brockport, in front of the Brockport Diner. Rain location: First Baptist Church, 124 Main Street, Brockport, next to Sagawa Park.

Cool Kids is free, open to all ages, handicap accessible, with no advance sign-up required. Bring blankets and chairs, picnics and friends. For information about Cool Kids, call the Cool Hotline at 585-637-3984. For schedules and information www.generationcoolbiz. The Water Wizards workshop and show is scheduled for July 6.

Cool Kids is a program of B.I.S.C.O. - Brockport Integrated Service Community Organization. Cool Kids is also partially funded by a grant from Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester, the NYS Council on the Arts, and the NYS Legislature.
