The grants provided scholarships to families in need whose children wished to participate in the "Kids Take the Stage Youth Theater Classes. Offered three times annually, the classes were for students from kindergarten through 8th grade. Participants learned acting, singing, pantomime, improvisation and stage make-up.
In its tenth years, the Free Summer Musical Program provided a free theatrical learning experience for more than two hundred children and a low-cost cultural opportunity for three thousand adult and child audience members. The program allowed children to participate on state and behind-the-scenes.
