March 12, 2020Mount Saint Mary Catholic High School in Oklahoma City recently announced that the school received a $5,000 grant from The Westerman Foundation to support the continued growth of the performing arts department.
The school’s auditorium was built in 1962 and needs technical lighting and audio renovations that include LED stage lighting fixtures and a new intercom system. The intercom system will allow communication between backstage and the sound/light booth on the opposite side of the facility.
“The Westerman Foundation grant has given us the beginnings of a desperately needed upgrade in our theatre. The fact that we have sources that can help us realize a vision is a blessing!” said Linda Brown, chairwoman of the Fine Arts Department.
Performing art students compete at state competitions each year and, next month, they will produce a musical production of “The Little Mermaid.”
Established by the Sisters of Mercy in 1903, Mount Saint Mary Catholic High School is the oldest high school in Oklahoma. Throughout its history, Mount Saint Mary has provided and continues to provide with the assistance of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City an excellent Catholic, college-preparatory education. mountstmary.org.
