Central Community Theatre Seeks Sponsors for Underpriveleged Children

Submitted by Claire Clinkingbeard

Central Community Theatre is ready to kick off the summer with seven musical theatre camps for students ages 3-14.  Our camps are filling fast, but there are many students in the Central area who have expressed an interest but their parents are not able to afford it at this time.  We know that these students would benefit greatly from this experience. We wanted to extend an offer to the people in the Central community to become a sponsor for a child to attend a CCT camp.  You could change a child’s life by making it possible for him/her to spend a week singing and dancing their way to a better future.   Theatre education benefits children socially, developmentally, and intellectually.  Studies show that children who are involved in theatre are better readers, have a better self-concept, have increased empathy and tolerance, and learn to work in a group to reach achievement.

The cost to sponsor one child is $125.  This covers their camp T-shirt, snacks, crafts, music, and weeklong instruction.

We appreciate your consideration in giving an underprivileged student this valuable opportunity.   To become a sponsor, apply to be a sponsored participant, or for more information call 225-938-7433 or email us at [email protected].
