Hello, everyone, We had a great first awards ceremony yesterday, filled with mistakes and surprises and tons of fun! We honored 114 children from 10 plays with nominations, and had 46 winners. We are expanding our reach to include a lot more Akron and Cleveland theatres in the new year, so far, we are seeing 26 plays and musicals through May, and we would like to include our neighbors all the way out to Sandusky, Huron, Tiffen, Mansfield, Canton and Youngstown, and areas in between, and would like to invite youth theatres and camps to apply to be a part of us, as well as adjudicators from those areas. We are also seeking a 501(c)(3) angel who will put us under your umbrella, or someone who will help us become a 50 (c)(3) status, sponsors, advertisers, and donors to help our program flourish. Anyone interested in helping Ohio children feel honored and cherished, please reach out to ohioyouthartsawards@gmail.com. We would love to talk to you! -- All my best, Barb Stitzer Editor in Chief of Northeast Ohio Weddings Magazine Owner of Barb Stitzer Photography and Actors Conservatory Ohio Stalk Me!
