Each performance cost Alcott/or in this case our Sponsor Producers for the rights to produce this play.. Our production location has been donated for this use, the church auxiliary have Volunteered to help on several levels. Alcott’s theater has noisy air conditioning that over powers small voices. Plus it gets The L. M. Alcott Art Center Foundation into new areas. I would like to point out that St. Marks United Methodist Church has helped us in the past, providing rehearsal space in the winter to get our cast ready for our season opening in April. of that year.

We also want to thank The Kansas Department of Commerce Creative Arts Industries Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts

“The Alcott Art Center Foundation was supported in part by the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.”
