PROGRAM

East Bay Center for the Performing Arts

Our speaker today is Jordan Simmons, Artistic Directors at the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts. Richmond Rotary raised $50,000, between our fundraising and a Rotary International Match, for the Tales of the Lost Secrets Play last year. Jordan stated that several of the actors/actresses from the play received scholarships to the Young Artist Diploma Program for 2014-2015. The Center just completed its 45th year and continues to work with children in the Richmond Area, and especially with Title One schools in the area.
