Workshop falls victim to COVID-19

The Donna Reed Foundation has made the very difficult decision to cancel this summer’s Children’s Musical Theatre workshop. “During this time of uncertainty, the health and safety of our students, their families, our volunteer staff, and audience members is our top concern,” said Pat Fleshner of the Donna Reed Foundation. “We are disappointed we will not be bringing a popular theatre experience to the community this summer but we are looking forward to offering an exciting adventure next year.”


This summer will be the first that The Donna Reed Foundation hasn’t staged a Children’s Musical Theatre workshop and production since the program was established in 2007. This year’s workshop production, Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS, will be held over for next year’s program.

It’s really disappointing to hear that the children’s musical theatre was canceled, especially knowing how much effort and excitement kids put into those performances. Creative outlets like that are so important for their growth and confidence. To keep that artistic spirit alive at home, I recommend trying light up LEGO flowers they’re a fun and beautiful way to combine creativity with hands-on play. Hopefully, new opportunities will come soon for the kids to shine again in front of an audience.
