Sylacauga – The Sylacauga Community Playhouse has awarded the 2020 Performing Arts Scholarship to Sylacauga High School graduate, Ivana L. Taylor, in the amount of $1,500.
Applicants are considered on the basis of academic merit, talent, character, and demonstrated achievement in one or more areas of the performing arts.
“This fund was established when the SCP incorporated into a 501 (c)(3) in December 2014 to assist students who want to pursue fine arts in their post-secondary education,” stated Amy McDonald, SCP Board Member. The SCP Scholarship Fund is generated through donations from individuals, including SCP audiences, and corporations.
As a student at Sylacauga High School, Ivana participated in the choir, band, and the theatre program. In 2019 she played the part of Mrs. Gloop in the Sylacauga Community Playhouse production of Willy Wonka JR. She will be attending Troy University in the fall majoring in Music Education.
