Board Member Mary Jo Springs then explained the origin of the memorial and its importance to the organization. The purpose is to congratulate graduating seniors who have been active at the Calhoun Players or the Performing Arts Youth Theater either on stage or behind the scenes, and who have made a lasting contribution in supporting and promoting local arts.
Through this outlet, they have entertained many and have been offered a freedom of expression that has, hopefully, transpired from the stage into their personal lives.
