TCT Theater Class at Rossville

    The Shawnee County Commission recently  approved entering into a service contract with Topeka Civic Theater  to provide an eight-week outreach theater class this fall at the Rossville Community Center. TCT would produce a short play and oversee its performance at a cost of $20 per participant.

   TCT currently is working to offer a similar class in Silver Lake again this year, parks and recreation director John Knight said.
 
    Last fall, the TCT held acting classes in both the Rossville and Silver Lake communities. The introduction to theater classes averaged between 13 and 15 children.

    After just two years, Shawnee County's contract with the Topeka Civic Theatre has increased the number of children exposed to theater and expanded enrollment within Gage Park and programs outside Topeka,  while saving taxpayers $260,000.
