This is a benefit event to help the award winning drama students at Elsie
Allen High School raise the $56,000 necessary for themselves and their drama
instructor, Rob Burt, to attend the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world’s
largest drama festival.  Elsie Allen was chosen from over 2,000 nominees to be
one of 75 American high schools to perform at the Fringe Festival.  At the
Festival they will perform  plays that are written and produced by Elsie Allen
students and they will be mentored by master actors, costume designers and
make-up artists.  Rialto Cinema has graciously agreed to provide their largest
theater on the evening of July 29th for this event. The film is an inspiring
story about a young Cambodian dancer and the development of talent and the
mastery of an art form.  Please visit www.dancingacrossborders.net for a sneak

classical Cambodian Dancer/ChoreographerCharya Burt will deliver a special live
performance with San Francisco Opera cellist Ruth Lane.
