Broadwater Community Theater Scholarships Nancy Marks Broadwater Community Theater scholarship winner and friends speak at Open House
Urijah Duede, winner of the 2022 Grand Street Theatre scholarship to a summer camp, spoke on Saturday to a small group about his experiences attending the camp and how much fun he had. He has encouraged his friend, Zach Mathew, to apply for this year’s scholarship. The Townsend Elementary seventh graders were both enthusiastic about being in this year’s children’s play coming up this summer. The coming play is sponsored by Broadwater Community Theater (BCT) Board.
The Open House program also featured a history of the Ryland KM Foote Memorial Trust. Formed in 1996, the nonprofit has given workshops and granted scholarships in art, theater, music and foreign language for Broadwater County students ages Kindergarten through 8th grade. It also sponsored the Starlite School Talent Show throughout the years. In 2018, the Broadwater Community Theater was organized which has produced several plays and workshops. It is underwritten by the nonprofit. Members of the BCT board are LaRinda Spencer, Tina Homann, Carla Amundson, Pat Plantenberg, Jim Domino and Nancy Marks. Birdi Kribs has recently joined the board as has Anne Hall.
Pat Plantenberg spoke of the upcoming schedule of performances which will include a performance by Rocky Mountain Movement, a dance troupe taught by Lenna Parr and Ashley Franz. Other events in the mix may include a dance band event and the Christmas Dinner Theater.
The public is invited to become a member of the theater or join as a sponsor. The sponsorship campaign will remain open until April 1.
