About AIDS

Join some of Austin's finest performers as they honor fathers and daddies with respect, humor, and thoughtfulness. Folktales, family stories, monologues and selected readings explore and describe a variety of fathering experiences any Dad - or anyone who has had one - can identify with and enjoy.

All proceeds benefit the Uganda Children's Charity Fund, supporting AIDS-orphaned children in Uganda and increasing awareness of the incredible African orphan crisis.

The weekend of celebration will offer four programs:

•Celebrate Fathers, a storytelling concert for adults and older children (age 10 and up) with storyteller Carl Anderson, theatre artists Joy Cunningham and Robert Faires, and Austin American-Statesman editor Arnold Garcia. Saturday, June 17 at 8pm and Sunday, June 18 at 4pm Admission: $8 or seniors $6.

•Celebrate Daddies, stories and songs for families with children ages three to 10, with Carl Anderson, Kim Lehman, and Joe McDermott. Saturday at 6pm and Sunday at 2pm Admission: $5.

All performances will be at the Dougherty Arts Center, 1110 Barton

Springs Road. For reservations or information call 320-8536.
