The award is given to students wishing to advance their study of theater and performance. And both budding thespians fit the bill, having appeared in numerous shows, and expressed an interest in continuing to hone their talents..
Jessica, a student at PS/IS 229, and Sarah who studies at Sunset Park Prep, where selected for their illuminating essays about their experiences in theater.
The awards, sponsored by the Narrows Community Theater, were presented on June 6 at the Shore Hill Community Room, and honor Betty Kash, a beloved, longtime, group member who passed away last year.
“In her years as a performer and director, Betty worked with children and shared her talents and love of theater with them,” said publicity manager Ann Gubiotti. “This scholarship is one way to let her work continue.”
