WELCOME!
A warm welcome from our Development Director
Welcome to Celebrity Curtain Call and The Princess Bride! I am so proud and excited to share our home, our team, and our mission with you tonight. Lexington Children’s Theatre creates imaginative and compelling theatre experiences for young people and their families. As the state children’s theatre of Kentucky we are able to bring these experiences to more than 60,000 young people and families across the Bluegrass annually.
Our satellite program, Shooting Stars Youtheatre, operating out of Rowan County by Octavia Biggs, is about to celebrate it’s 20th year and has been recognized for three consecutive years by the Kennedy Center for their programing with young people with special needs. Our Producing Artistic Director, Jeremy Kisling, is bringing LCT to the national stage with his recent appointment as President of the South Eastern Theatre Conference AND participation in the TYA BIPOC Superhero Project. During the month of March, Mayor Linda Gordan helped us open Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, with a proclamation that March is henceforth Early Childhood Literacy month. With the help of our partners at Fayette County Public Schools and the Lexington Public Library, LCT gave away 6,000 English and 1,000 Spanish copies of the Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus book and our show was seen by 9,000 young people and families.
Tonight we have prepared a little taste of LCT community that we create year round and hope that when you leave this evening you consider yourself a member of the LCT Family. We encourage you to ask our staff, board of directors, volunteers, celebrity cast, and fellow attendees one question…”What does the LCT Family mean to you?” I promise you will hear stories of joy, pride, communities created, and maybe a few ‘kids say the darndest things’ laughs.
We of course must salute our cast, who deserve the highest accolades for not only generously giving of their time and efforts to make Celebrity Curtain Call such an amazing event, but for their good-natured willingness to play make-believe onstage for our entertainment!
I would like to lift up the support of our event sponsors. Thank you to our presenting Sponsor, D&D Machinery Movers; Gold Sponsor, Kentucky Employers Mutual Insurance (KEMI); and Silver Sponsors, Morgan Stanley, South Central Bank, Communications by Carrie, Lexington Event Company, Traditional Bank, Kentucky American Water, Wildcat Moving, and QX.net. A special thank you to cast members and founders of Fresh Bourbon, Tia and Sean Edwards, for bringing back a fun and delicious treat to this event. Enjoy our long-standing food and drink sponsors, Sorella Gelateria, Puccini’s Pizza Pasta, West 6th Brewing Company, and High Bridge Water. We would also like to thank our major contributors, LexArts, The Shubert Foundation, The Kentucky Arts Council, and our media sponsors, 96.9 Kiss FM, and CD 106.3.
And finally, thanks to YOU, our honored guests. Your support at this event will help young people and families across Kentucky enjoy the amazing arts experiences that LCT provides every day.
