ESL Receives $3,650 in Grants from Local Cultural Council Program

Enter Stage Left Theater is pleased to announce that it has recently received grants totaling $3,650 from local towns involved in the Local Cultural Council Program. The Ashland Cultural Council gave ESL a $1,200 grant for its spring musical, the Milford Cultural Council gave a grant in the amount of $1,000 for ESL’s summer stock production, the Hopkinton Cultural Council gave ESL a $950 grant for its upcoming production of the USO Show at the Hopkinton Senior Center, and the Upton Cultural Council donated $500 for the Dalmatians program.

“We are very excited and grateful for these Local Cultural Council grants, which will help us produce a variety of shows in the next year,” said Kelly Grill, a co-founder of ESL. “I think the fact that we received grants from four different towns in Metrowest shows that we are filling a community-wide need as a venue for performing arts in this area.”
