Jordan’s partners with Ocean State Theatre

WARWICK – Jordan’s Furniture will support the Ocean State Theatre Company’s 2014-15 Family Fun Fest as a community outreach partner.
The nonprofit professional theater company recently opened its third season in its state-of-the-art theater in Warwick.
The partnership between the store and the nonprofit will help underprivileged children enjoy a shared family experience through underwritten ticketing for performances of theater’s popular children’s series.
Jordan’s, a New England-based retailer, opened its sixth location at the Warwick Mall in 2011.
“As a leader in the community, it is important to us to support children and families who are underserved,” said Eliot Tatelman, president and CEO of Jordan’s Furniture. “Through this partnership, Jordan’s is able to provide an experience to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the theater. And it is something that the whole family can enjoy together.”
The store’s support enables the theater to offer families in Head Start and Foster Care programs the opportunity to attend a live theatrical experience, said Amiee Turner, CEO of the Ocean State Theatre Company.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Jordan’s Furniture in order to introduce children to the magic of live theatre,” she said. “By exposing children to theater, not only are they more likely to appreciate the arts as adults, but it can also touch a child’s imagination and spark their creativity – skills which are important to academic success.”
The Family Fun Fest features a variety of performances held on select Saturday mornings from November through May.
