The Wallace Weekend Players have wrapped up their 1st semester!  We started the semester strong with a great group of 18 students.  As schools closed we continued the program and consistently had 3 to 6 kids join us via zoom each Saturday morning for the last half of the semester.  

The final performance didn't happen as we expected, but these kids showed great enthusiasm for their monologues, a few wrote their own plays which were fun to read together in our last meeting and each refined new skill sets.  It was exciting and inspiring to see their progress, creativity, and self-confidence grow each week. 

To supplement the end of the program each of these students will have the opportunity to accept a full scholarship to our Theater camp in June.  

The students have given us great ideas for our theme days at camp.  They said their favorite parts of Wallace Weekend players included getting to meet our guest artists from Texas Tech, learning about costume design, different types of acting, and even directing.  

We are so proud of the way these students worked together and encouraged each other.  We are thankful we had the opportunity to work with such incredible young people and build relationships with them. We look forward to seeing them at theater camp and picking the program back up on Saturdays in the fall! 

Thank you to The CH Foundation for their generous support of our inaugural year and making it possible to extend the opportunity for these students to continue their learning at Theater Camp this summer.
