💜 Grateful for Community Support! 💜

With Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. just days away, we’ve been thinking about all of the people and organizations who help make these moments possible for our young performers.

Today we want to say a very special THANK YOU to Granite State Credit Union for supporting First Act and our mission to make youth theatre affordable and accessible to local families! 🎭

From costumes and sets to venue rentals and all of the little things that bring a production to life, there is so much that happens behind the scenes before our kids ever step onto the stage. Community sponsors help make it possible for us to keep participation costs low while continuing to offer our performances FREE to the community.

We are incredibly grateful to Granite State Credit Union for choosing to invest in local youth and the arts. Their support means more opportunities for kids to perform, grow in confidence, make friendships, and discover something they love. 💜

As our cast prepares to take the stage this weekend, we want to say one more big THANK YOU to Granite State Credit Union for being part of the First Act community!

Please join us in supporting the organizations that support our kids and our community. 🎭✨

🧜‍♀️🌊 Thank you for helping us make the magic happen!

🌟 Feeling Grateful for Our Sponsors! 🌟

As we get closer to opening Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr., we’re reminded just how grateful we are for the businesses and community members who help make what we do at First Act possible. 💜

A very special thank you to GSMS Air•Heating•Plumbing for supporting First Act and believing in our mission!

Keeping our program fees affordable and our performances FREE to the community is incredibly important to us, and the support of sponsors like GSMS helps us continue giving young performers the opportunity to learn, grow, build confidence, and experience the magic of being part of a show.

We especially appreciate GSMS's commitment to supporting their community through their “We Love Local” mission. It truly takes a community to make youth theatre happen, and we are so thankful to have them as part of ours.

As our cast gets ready to take the stage this weekend, we want to say one more big THANK YOU to GSMS for investing in First Act and in these amazing kids! 💙🎭

Please remember the businesses that support local organizations like ours. If you’re looking for heating, cooling, or plumbing services, keep GSMS Air • Heating • Plumbing in mind!

🧜‍♀️🌊 Thank you for helping us make the magic happen!
