Every actor has a journey that starts with their chance to

stretch themselves and really learn to love what they do� For

most kids, it is shows like the one you are seeing today that

start that journey� I am so happy to know this is the fi rst full

scale musical for many of my student and for the others, a

chance for them to learn and grow in this amazing piece of

theatre� I am so grateful to those whom continue to support

this amazing program at MPAA� There is not another

program in the SW Washington/Portland area where students ages 6-13 get opportunities

like this� These students get their own production, where they are performing lead roles,

while learning technical training in the performing arts� Arts funding in our schools

continues to decrease and a need for programs like ours is more vital than ever�

As MPAA continues to build its programming, I hope that you will support us and help us

provide more opportunities like this� We are currently looking to expand our programming

and acquire a larger performing facility� Our community deserves a facility where all

members of the community can grow and learn in the arts in a safe space� I ask you to

please make a year-end tax deductible donation to Metropolitan Performing Arts Academy

to help us move towards our goal and build this Performing Arts Center� Our capital

campaign will feature a one year plan to raise the needed 1�5 million dollars� We need

your support!

Thank you for attending ANNIE Jr and supporting children’s theatre performed by

actual children�

Warmest Regards,

Noah Scott, Founding Creative Director
