Disney's Frozen Kids at Valley View Elementary School

Hennepin Theatre Trust Has Received a Grant from Disney for Theater Education

Hennepin Theatre Trust has been awarded a grant from Disney to bring the Disney Musicals in Schools program to the Twin Cities. The national program is a free initiative developed by Disney Theatrical Productions to create sustainable theater programs in under-resourced elementary schools. The grant funds programming for two years in select elementary schools. Hennepin Theatre Trust has selected three area public elementary schools to participate in the inaugural year all of which receive federal Title I funding for low-income populations including Peter Hobart Elementary School (St. Louis Park), Susan Lindgren Elementary School (St. Louis Park) and Valley View Elementary School (Columbia Heights). Another four schools will be added to the program next year.
