The initial round of funding will go toward rental fees and production costs for Rolling Hills Middle School’s winter production and Monroe Middle School and Campbell School of Innovation’s combined spring production. The Friends have also established a scholarship fund with $5,000 to fund students’ participation.
Funding for these programs is coming from donations to the Friends and profits from concession sales at the Heritage Theatre.
Martha de Ojeda of the Campbell Union School District said the program “will provide our students with an exceptional opportunity to perform on a professional stage.”
Samantha Ince, president of the Friends group, said the program is aimed at “local youth and those that may otherwise be unable to experience the magic that is the historic Heritage Theatre.”
Closed for repairs
Stanford Blood Center (SBC) has temporarily closed its South Bay Donation Center at 295 E. Hamilton Ave. in Campbell as of June 3 to make plumbing repairs.
