Program accomplishments

  • Fendig Theatre for Children offered a summer theatre activity for children in grades 4-8 to participate in performing a 2 act musical theatre performance. Children are taught all aspects of a theatre performance and then carry out their roles. This includes behind the stage, lights, sound and acting. The callout, rehearsal and performance timeline occurs from May 28-July 15. The goal of the program is to help children discover themselves, build confidence, and grow relationships across age groups. In 2024, the program put on three performances of Seussical to a crowd of approximately 900 community members over the three performances. There were 48 participants, 5 staff members, and 70 volunteers. The longer term goals are to provide opportunities for community members to participate in a cultural experience that has been a tradition in our community for 48 years. Participation has created a sense of personal and community pride helping both children and adults to see what people can learn and do when working together.
