MIDLAND -- Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center, the tri-state region's top entertainment venue and Beaver County's number one tourism destination, has gifted an in-kind donation of $203,137.86 to its neighboring Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School. The donation is forgiveness of half the sum of custodial, utility and maintenance services the center provided to the charter school over the past few years.
"The board provided this gift so that the charter school could continue to uphold its mission of offering educational opportunities in an arts-infused learning environment for children in grades 7 through 12 from across southwestern Pennsylvania," stated Richard Corradi, president of Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center's Board of Directors. "The vote to provide the gift was unanimous."
"This is just another example of how the center's presence, involvement and dedication allow young talented people to be immersed in the arts and affords them the opportunity to work alongside entertainment industry professionals," added Chris Shovlin, chief executive officer of Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center. "It truly is the center that distinguishes LPPACS from every other traditional high school."
The center features two state-of-the-art theaters; a 750-seat proscenium MainStage theater and a 175-seat BlackBox Theater in which students work with professional actors, musicians, technicians and others in a real-world setting in Broadway-style productions. Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center also hosts concerts, lectures, exhibits and other events.
The mission of Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center is to strengthen the cultural, educational and economic vitality of the communities it serves by making high-quality arts and education programs available, accessible and affordable for everyone.
