The Westmoreland Players Theatre has established an annual college scholarship award for local students who participate in volunteer activities at the theatre. On May 12, 2024, the Players Board of Directors made the first such scholarship award in the amount of $2,000 to Christian Fields of Warsaw. Christian has been an indispensable volunteer both on stage and in the tech booth at the theatre for several years.
The Players will award scholarships each spring to one or more deserving student volunteers. Eligible volunteer opportunities include performing onstage as an actor or behind the scenes, such as building and painting sets, running lights, managing props, operating sound, serving refreshments, or welcoming the audience.
Awards will be made based on the quantity and quality of each student’s contribution to the mission of the Theatre. Volunteer activities performed at any time during the current or past seasons will be considered in making the awards. Students wishing to volunteer at the Theatre and thereby become eligible for a future award should contact the theatre at 804/529-9345 or by emailing president@westmorelandplayers.org. An application form for the 2025 award will be published on this website in early 2025.
