LIHU‘E — The Hawai‘i Children’s Theatre has announced the deadline for applications for this year’s Ethan Shell Memorial Scholarship for performing arts.
Scholarships of up to $1,000 are available to students entering their first or second year of college with a performing arts major or minor. Kaua‘i students who will be studying acting, music, dance, stagecraft or other areas of performing arts are invited to apply. The deadline for applications is March 30.
These scholarships are in memory of Ethan Bradford Shell, a young man who grew up on Kaua‘i and participated in numerous HCT productions and programs. Shell had graduated from college in New York City and was working in an off-Broadway play and as a model when he died suddenly from an undiagnosed heart condition in 2010, at the age of 21.
In 2012, scholarships were awarded to Toby Riggle, a second year student at the prodigious Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York; Maka Viernes, a sophomore at Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass. and majoring in music; and Annalissa Hartsell, a Waimea High School valedictorian graduate who is majoring in dance at Northwestern University in Chicago.
Scholarship applications are available on the HCT website, www.hawaiichildrenstheatre.com.
Donations to the Ethan Shell Scholarship Fund may be made online at the Hawai‘i Children’s Theatre website or by calling 246-8985.
