"Father Joe" Gilbert and adding a Star in his honor to our “Theatre of the Stars.” We continue this memorial by asking all performers and friends of community theatre who knew and loved Father Joe to contribute to a scholarship fund so a few deserving children, who would otherwise be financially unable, can attend our Children’s Summer Theater Workshop each year. Monies collected will be added to the fund and used each year to assist identified recipients. Any amount contributed will be greatly appreciated. You can support this scholarship program via Paypal: Use the "Add special instructions to the seller" box to indicate your donation is for the Father Joe Scholarship.
