Local Theatre Group appreciates state support

The Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre was recently awarded a $2000 grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board, a division of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism.

The Arts Board awards grants annually under the ‘creation and presentation’ category to provide artistic program and operational support to established nonprofit arts organizations. Their primary mission is to create or present ongoing arts programming that makes a significant local, regional, or statewide impact on the cultural life of Wisconsin, and that furthers the Arts Board’s community development and arts education goals.

“The Wisconsin Arts Board is our voice in Madison. We so appreciate their support and the hard work they do to keep the arts thriving in Wisconsin,” said Ellen Roeseler, WRCT Executive Director. “We thank them and the State of Wisconsin for understanding the important role the arts play in the health of our local communities.”
