COMMUNITY BOARD
The Cove Goes to Paris
Every day, the Cove offers sanctuary to teens in our community who need a place of rest. This fall, Waco Civic Theatre is presenting Victor Hugo’s classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame, featuring music from the Walt Disney film. The story explores how the church offers protection for those who are hurting from the cruelties of the world outside, echoing the Cove’s mission here in Waco. Featuring a live orchestra and partnering with Central Texas Choral Society for a full choir, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to support two local non-profits in our community and see an absolute masterpiece of theatre art! Go to www.WacoCivicTheatre.com for tickets and use the code COVE24 so that 10% of the proceeds will be donated to The Cove.
