Wa-Hi Drama Department receives local grants
The Walla Walla High Drama Department recently received two local grants to support the school's drama efforts. The Drama Department received $5000 from the Mary Garner Esary Trust.

This money will be used to pay copyright fees to produce the spring musical, "Little Women." It will also fund costuming expenses for "The Taming of the Shrew" which opens November 13 in the Performing Arts Auditorium.

The second grant is from the Welch Community Grant in the amount of $2,837. This grant will be used to purchase three wireless microphones.

"Every school year the students of the Walla Walla High School Drama Department embark on a journey," Drama teacher Brian Senter said. "We take great pride in our work and are especially appreciative of the support that we have garnered from our audiences as well as many local trust funds and institutions. Without this kind of support we would not be able to do what we do."
