September 24, 2024

Funding will help support theatre youth programs

Theatre Lawrence is honored to have been named a 2025 beneficiary by the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee.


Funding will be used to support youth education programming at the theatre, including continuing our new suitcase story program, youth productions, providing scholarship opportunities, and the Penguin Project.


There will be a variety of events leading up the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Lawrence on Monday, March 17.


Theatre Lawrence was one of three local non-profits selected as beneficiaries this year. The other two are 100 Good Women and Ecumenical Campus Ministry.


The Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade began in 1988 and is more than a one-day event. The committee runs more than 10 events throughout the year to raise money to support Douglas County area organizations that support children. Since 1998 the organization has donated more than $1.2 million.
