The Grinch came to Central Learning Center in Springfield and stole the audience. At least he took their attention and kept it for the entire performance. The kids, teachers, and parents were captivated by the spectacle.

The Coastal Performing Arts Academy completed its performances of “How the Dancing Grinch Stole Christmas” for this Christmas season, performing for over 900 guests in two weeks.

Since not everyone may have been able to attend the earlier show, the Effingham County Board of Education invited the studio to bring some of the show to the Central Learning Center to perform in front of 350 pre-school students, parents, and faculty and spread some holiday cheer.

The Coastal Performing Arts Academy said it was honored to be able to bring their show to the community and spread the message of Christmas love and giving. The students, faculty, and staff of the Central Learning Center thanked Dawn Oswald and The Coastal Performing Arts Academy performers.
