William Carey University Theatre Donates to Area High Schools

"Because of storage issues and wonderful donors who have included us over the years, we have an abundance of costumes, shoes and other items that would be valuable to the high school theatre programs in our area," said Tim Matheny, chair of the program. "The theatre community in the Pine Belt is much like a family and we rely on each other when we are putting shows together, so when we decided to reorganize our inventory it was an obvious decision to share our things with the local high school programs." Items not used by the high schools will be given to the Salvation Army.
