By Huntingtonnews.net Staff
Huntington, WV (HNN) -- The First Stage Theatre Company has received a grant for $3667 from the
Foundation for the Tri-State Community, which is based in Ashland, Ky.
The grant will be used to purchase new sound equipment for the local children's theatre group. According to First Stage President Chuck Minsker, "We're very grateful to everyone at the Foundation for their support and generosity. This grant will make it possible for us to update our system of wireless microphones - a vital tool for any theatre group. Our system was badly in need of replacement, and that's possible now, thanks to this grant."
The check was presented by Foundation President Mary Witten Wiseman. The Foundation for the Tri-State Community is celebrating its 35th anniversary and focuses on providing support for the non-profit community in the Tri-State area and on the distribution of charitable dollars.
The First Stage Theatre Company is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing an educational, developmental experience for young people through the performing arts. This fall the group will begin its 19th season of shows with a production of the classic musical "Peter Pan."
