Some
much needed money coming to the InterAction School of Performing Arts at
228 Germain Street. The provincial government is contributing 50
thousand dollars to help pay for upgrades to the theatre building, itself,
including a new roof.
200
young people get their creative juices flowing by attending classes and
workshops at the theatre along with performing. The theatre has been
around for 13 years.
The
President of the theatre's Board of Directors Jeff Sheehan tells CHSJ
News this type of training will help them in the work world because it develops creative thinking. Sheehan
works in I-T and says some of his colleagues develop software during the
day but are involved in the arts during their off hours.
A fundraising campaign is underway with the goal being 150 thousand dollars to pay for all of the upgrades.
