Elmwood Playhouse in Nyack presents a special performance of POTUS, Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive to benefit the Larry D. Gabbard Performing Arts Scholarship.
The Larry D. Gabbard Performing Arts Scholarship is an educational grant that Elmwood awards annually to high school seniors residing in Rockland County who intend to pursue a career in the Performing Arts including Performance, Arts Management, Stage Management, and Technical Design.
Mr. Gabbard was a treasured member of Elmwood Community Playhouse in Nyack and Elmwood honors his memory by presenting this scholarship annually in his name.
Our thanks to Prohibition River for the donation of a $50 dollar gift certificate. Every ticket purchased to the benefit performance is automatically entered, at no additional cost, to win this gift certificate to this amazing bistro on Main Street in Nyack.
At a time when circumstances seemed to belittle the goals of young artists looking to pursue a career in the arts, it is vital that we support them. Every ticket purchased sends a message of encouragement to young Rockland County students in the arts and contributes to the fund for this financial award that helps them on their way. Past recipients have consistently told us that in addition to the financial award, the scholarship validated their goals and boosted their confidence in their path.
Please join us for an evening of great theater for a great cause.
