Narrows Community Theater helps young performers with scholarships
Two eighth grade students who have shown a strong interest in the performing arts have been chosen by leaders of the Narrows Community Theater (NCT) to receive scholarships to help them share their talents in high school.
Kristen Kupper, who is graduating from Saint Patrick Catholic Academy, and Liam Specht, who is graduating from Lutheran Elementary School of Bay Ridge, are the 2017 winners of the NCT’s Betty Kash Memorial Scholarship Award.
Kash, a founding member of NCT, died in 2012. Kash had directed many of the theater company’s productions over the years. Upon her death, her family requested that mourners show their support for NCT by making donations to the theater company. Narrows Community Theater is a Bay Ridge-based theater company founded in 1971.
