Cordova earns prestigious education grant to support theater
Cordova High School's Drama Department has been honored by the American Theatre Wing, best known as the creator of the Antoinette Perry, "Tony" Awards with a classroom resource grant for $12,000 from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative.
The Drama Department plans on using the grant to produce Cordova High's first musical in 20 years, "The Little Shop of Horrors." Opening day of the musical will be April 12, 2018.
A lot goes into producing a musical, so with this grant money they'll be able to purchase show royalties, microphones, and materials for the sets and costumes for the actors. This will allow for more a more elaborate sets, costumes and technology in future shows produced.
