The New Works Festival for Young Audiences, scheduled December 2-11 at the Columbus Performing Arts Center, will allow him to see new and in-progress works in three different stages of development. . The festival is geared towards ages 7 and up, but really anyone willing to be a little more in disbelief before entering the hall is welcome. Not to mention, you can see unfamiliar pieces that might move or touch just the right way. Festival passes are $15 for students and $25 for adults. Individual performance tickets will also be available as the show gets closer.
