It’s Kids Week at the Center for Health & Wellbeing!
How do you celebrate Juneteenth? Through our ongoing partnership with Central Florida Vocal Arts, Black Theatre Girl Magic invites you to celebrate this Juneteenth with storytelling! BTGM founder and teaching artist Mandi Jo John will be telling Juneteenth for Maizy by Floyd Cooper and Your Name Is A Song by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow in an interactive performance suitable for children of all ages.
We kindly request parents remain on the Center for Health & Wellbeing campus during the class. You can use the time to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee at Nourish Coffee Bar + Kitchen, use our free indoor walking track or get some work done with our free building-wide WiFi while relaxing in one of our many lounge areas.
This program is presented by CFVA and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.

Central Florida Vocal Arts is a non-profit music advocacy organization dedicated to providing the highest quality training to young artists, while also providing performance opportunities to currently emerging artists of all ages. We are creating a continuing life cycle for the vocal arts in Central Florida through a three-step model. The first step, Education and Training, introduces young artists to the arts. Through our educational initiatives, we develop students’ talent, passion, and confidence. Next, our Mainstage Productions provide a transition period for students ages 8-18 and pre-professional adults to emerge on stage alongside local professional artists. Our life cycle culminates with Opera del Sol, offering innovative productions in unexpected places and challenging perceptions of who the operatic performer and audience members are and what defines the genre as a whole.
