ACE Foundation proudly presents a new musical play titled “ACE-WOOD”.
“ACE-WOOD: A Step Closer to Hollywood” is a project that started last year with children aged
10 to 13, culminating in an beautifull musical theater performance to be presented on July 4 and
5 at the main hall of Jong Bonaire.
This project is financed by the OLB and the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Caribisch Gebied.
During the musical theater “ACE-WOOD”, the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy a
story that illustrates the journey these children have taken to grow and realize their dreams of
becoming artists. The show will highlight the cultural aspects of Bonaire, including our history of
slavery and the bright future our children hope for. “ACE-WOOD” is a journey through time that
will make the audience remember, think, reflect, and also become aware of different aspects of
life.
It is a musical theater play for the whole family. Both adults and children will enjoy this
tremendous show.
The show is also a fundraising event: This presentation also serves as a fundraiser for ACE
Tweens to travel to Aruba and participate in a cultural exchange with the children of Gang di
Arte Aruba. In Aruba, they will participate in a workshop called Gang di Arte Dream Dare Do,
where our children will engage in various workshops with children from Aruba, and then they will
compete together. They will form groups consisting of children from Aruba and Bonaire. Leaders
of the ACE Tweens Club will also give workshops to the children in Aruba.
Intensive Rehearsals: The upcoming days’ intensive rehearsals are being guided by: Zoë
Bernardina, Damari Alonzo, and Bertie Komproe. The musical part of the show is under the
direction of Xechell ‘Bauco’ Jacobs.

a beautiful message of hope and pride in our culture and community. If you wish to reserve your
