A huge round of applause for Central Coast Funds for Children for their incredible support of SLO REP’s Academy of Creative Theatre (ACT) and ACT scholarships since 2013! 🎭❤️

For more than a decade, their generosity has helped make it possible for young people throughout our community to experience the joy, confidence, creativity, and connection that theatre provides—regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

ACT is so much more than putting on a show. It’s a place where young people find their voices, build confidence, learn to collaborate, and discover the power of storytelling. And for many of our students, it becomes a place where they feel welcomed, supported, and truly at home.

Support for scholarships and programs helps ensure that every child who wants to participate has the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine.

Thank you, Central Coast Funds for Children, for believing in the power of live theatre and helping open the door for the next generation of artists and storytellers. Take a bow! 👏🎭
