Live in the Barnesville area of Georgia?
Would you like to see the children’s play called, “Finding Nemo Jr.”, helping spread awareness about microtia & atresia & raising funds benefiting the Ear Community Organization?

This children’s theater play taking place on August 9th, 10th & 11th, will be directed by Lauren Hoyal, a member of the microtia community & mom to Paxton! Lauren’s son, Paxton was born with microtia & atresia. Lauren will also be our Ear Community picnic host for our event in Georgia next summer! Lauren is a member of the Board for the Thomaston Upson Art Council & is looking forward to this special night she has worked hard to organize for the community to enjoy!

This year is the first of TUAC’s “Shows with a Purpose” program, bringing awareness to the Microtia & Atresia Ear Community Organization along with embracing, Nemo, as many in our community have a connection when they are missing an ear – like Nemo’s fin.

We will recognize anyone who comes with Microtia & Atresia at the beginning of the play & talk about Microtia & Atresia, as well as the Ear Community. During intermission there will be a 50/50 raffle & all funds raised will go to the Ear Community! Anyone with Microtia who comes to the show will have free entry!

If you live in the Barnesville, GA area & are interested in attending the play, for advance tickets – please visit https://www.tuacga.com/

Thank you so much to Lauren & her family for thinking of our community & for wanting to help spread awareness & give back to our Organization so we can continue doing more good work! Thank you to the Thomaston Upson Art Council too for all the good they do in Georgia! Thank you also to this year’s corporate sponsor for the play – Tidal Wave Auto Spa!

Enjoy!
Ear Community
