Talk about a full circle (of life) moment! This week, our friends at Lawrence Orr Elementary School joined us for a performance of Disney’s The Lion King through our Arts for All ticket scholarships AND they were treated to a special post-show talkback with cast members Darian Sanders (Simba), Gerald Ramsey (Mufasa), Lyric Danae (Swing), and Courtney Thomas (Swing & Dance Captain)! Lawrence Orr Elementary was a first-year participant in our Junior Theater Celebration this spring where students performed The Lion King KIDS at their school AND on our iconic Belk Theater stage! BRAVO to all! Arts for All access grants remove financial barriers for students, families and community groups to enjoy transformational artistic experiences and education programs. Grant requests may include funding for tickets, workshops, and transportation, gift the magic of live theater to members of our community today: https://lnkd.in/ga_VDDni
