Monday, June 12, 2023
The Community Arts Center has been awarded a $3,000 grant from the Pearls With a Passion Fund at the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania. This year’s Pearls grant, which focused on art in education for students in grades K-12, will go to support the Student Summer Stock production of "Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical."
“The generosity from the Pearls With a Passion Fund is significant in creating this unique annual opportunity for area students,” said Jim Dougherty, executive director. “All of us at the CAC eagerly anticipate Student Summer Stock each year.”
The program offers students in the region the opportunity to produce and perform in a recent Broadway musical. In collaboration with the Lycoming College Theater Department, from July 21-23, area students will present the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life.
“The community looks forward to the Student Summer Stock production every summer. We are grateful for the support from the Pearls With a Passion Fund,” said Ana Gonzalez-White, college relations officer in charge of CAC development.
