Mark your calendars - and prepare some sweet treats! The Laker Theatre Company is performing the play "The Outsiders" March 20-22, and those involved in the play are looking to make the performances even more impactful for students.
To support the theater program and fund a dedicated student scholarship, the Theatre Company will host a bake sale and concession stand before, after, and during intermission at each performance. Every treat and drink sold helps provide direct financial support to a deserving student in the arts.
To help, the Theatre Company is asking for donations of baked goods, pre-packaged snacks, and beverages to stock a table. Whether you're a master baker or a pro at picking out the best store-bought treats, your contribution makes a massive difference!
Please click the link below to let the Theatre Company know what you can contribute. Specific items are listed to ensure a great variety for those who attend the plays.
Performances will be at 6 p.m. March 20 and 21 and 2 p.m. March 22.
Please share this post with anyone who may want to donate baked goods and/or beverages to support the scholarship!
