Greg Miller, President of the Performing Arts League, comments, “This has been a challenging year for anyone involved in the performing arts.  Not only have performances been restricted, but even rehearsing has become problematic.  Local youth-involved performing arts programs, however, have proven resilient.  This was evident in the performances shown as part of our “Virtual Showcase,” the online event presented recently by The Performing Arts League and the UTC Department of the Performing Arts.  Although our ability to raise funds has been severely reduced due to the pandemic, we do have an opportunity to provide limited support this year. We encourage all who qualify to submit an application for consideration.”
