The Main Street Players awarded three scholarships on Sunday, May 18, to local high school seniors involved in the performing arts. The Main Street Players Board of Directors reviewed their applications and selected the top three students recommended by their teachers who best demonstrated and exemplified the true ideals of the performing arts.
To be eligible, the students had to plan to continue their performing arts education in college this fall as a major or minor. The winners were selected based upon their high school performance, their GPA, community service, and a personalized essay explaining their plans to pursue performing arts as part of their curriculum and what performing arts meant to them.
The recipients, honored at the Main Street Playhouse by Main Street Players’ president, Clara Lyzniak, were Brandon Tielves from Barbara Goleman Senior High School, Nataly Morillo of Mater Academy, and Kai Green from Miami Lakes Educational Center. This is the first time the theatre group presented these scholarships as a means of giving back to the community. They hope to continue this trend in the years to come.

The Main Street Players is a 501c3 non-for-profit community theatre run entirely by volunteers who believe in giving back to the community through art form. It was formed to provide cultural enrichment and entertainment and to provide an outlet for artistic talents in the community and South Florida.
