The City of North Charleston’s Cultural Arts Department is pleased to offer the second part of its two-part Summer Children’s Theatre series on Friday, July 13th, featuring Music of the Caribbean performed by Pantasia Steel Band. The program is for all ages and features two showings at two different locations.

Daycares, community groups, families, and individuals are welcome to attend the 10 am showing at Northwoods Park and Recreation Center at 8348 Greenridge Road and/or the 2 pm showing at Danny Jones Recreation Center at 1455 Monitor Street in North Charleston. Tickets are $2 per child with accompanying adults admitted at no charge. Parking is free.

Music of the Caribbean is a fast-paced musical program featuring a mix of calypso music, soca, and reggae selections.  Audience members will learn about steel drums, the history of Caribbean music, and how a steel drum is made.  Pantasia will also offer a musical demonstration tracing the evolution of the steel drum from early times of tamboo bamboo to the modern-day steel drum.  This “feel-good” performance is full of lots of in-seat audience participation and is designed for all ages.

Pantasia Steel Band was formed in 1994 by three musicians with a love for steel drums, a passion for performing, and a desire to provide quality, professional entertainment. Over the past 20 years the band has performed for hundreds of events, focusing on those held in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, with an occasional trek to neighboring portions of Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida.  The types of events they perform for is limitless, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, trade shows, conventions, corporate events, festivals, Grand Openings, family reunions, parties, and school assemblies.

Music of the Caribbean is the final presentation of North Charleston’s Summer Children’s Theatre Series. Groups of 10 or more are asked to reserve space in advance.
