Neo-Political Cowgirls Introduce The Stacey Fuller Cohn Scholarship
The Neo-Political Cowgirls are proud to announce the introduction of the Stacey Fuller Cohn Scholarship, named for her memory by her family. This very special opportunity is a full scholarship and will be gifted to a local deserving girl. It will be decided upon by NPC's board and local educators, and will be offered at each workshop- which occur up to five times a year.
Stacey Fuller Cohn was a mother to two young children and a beloved wife when she lost her fight against colon cancer in August of 2016. Through this scholarship, NPC will celebrate Stacey's love of the arts, her family, and her life's work while encouraging a local girl to find her own expressive voice and authentically share her talents with her own community. NPC is honored to present this opportunity in Stacey's name.
Local educators are welcome to submit suggested scholar names to npcowgirls@gmail.com. We ask that scholarship girls be aged 8-12, have financial constraints, be "at-risk," have lost a parent OR be dealing with other personal struggles and be in a position of need for emotional support, friendship and leadership - building.

About the company:
NEO-POLITICAL COWGIRLS: The Neo-Political Cowgirls is a not-for-profit dance theater company dedicated to exploring and celebrating the female voice. Founded in 2007 by Kate Mueth, we are committed to making work that puts women's stories center stage and creating a space where women and girls from all walks of life can share their experiences, joys, concerns, and spirits through professional dance theater. Storytellers at heart, NPC encourages their audience members to feel involved. Their site-specific projects are ground-breaking and invigorating, and they believe in removing conventional walls that traditionally separate audience and actors.
Kate Mueth: Actor, Director, Choreographer Kate Mueth founded her award winning The Neo-Political Cowgirls in 2007 to help fill the dearth of women's voices and opportunities on the American stage. Since then, NPC has staged a multitude of newly conceived, rule- breaking Theater Productions that have engaged and excited theatergoers from their home base in East Hampton, NY, to Berlin and New York City's Off-Broadway.
