Fun For Life Program Awards Grand Street Theater Scholarships Nancy Marks Two elementary school students have been awarded the 2023 theater scholarships. Harper Hazlett and Zachary Matthews will attend the Grand Street Theatre summer camp in Helena beginning July 10.

Harper is a third grader and has starred in several plays including Missoula Children’s Theater and Aladdin, last summer’s Broadwater Community Theater production. In school, she likes physical education best of all her classes. After graduation from high school Harper would like to study to be a professional actor. She is the daughter of Dan and Amanda Hazlett.

Zachary, the son of Cassie Matthews, is a seventh grader at Townsend Middle School. He said his friend coaxed him to audition for Broadwater Community Theater plays two summers ago and he loved it. He also starred in the theater’s last year’s summer production of Aladdin.

The Grand Street Theater summer camp is co-sponsored by Broadwater Community Theater and the Fun For Life Program, a nonprofit organization that began in 1996 to give elementary school-aged students in Broadwater County scholarships in art, theater, music and foreign language.

Applications for the awards for next year may be sent to Fun For Life, 35 River Rd., Townsend or call (406) 980-0592
