DO WHAT YOU CAN, WHEN YOU CAN, WHERE YOU CAN!
FAITH FIRST, OTHERS SECOND
TM3 United. Helping under privledged kids have an experience
Dear Founders,
With deep gratitude, we want to share a powerful moment from this past week that you helped make possible.
As part of the Mountain America Education Program, 14,400 students experienced The Hunchback of Notre Dame live on stage—many for the very first time. This opportunity exists because of your support, removing financial barriers and expanding access across Utah and surrounding states.
The impact was immediate and profound. One teacher shared that students were “completely blown away” and that a typically difficult class was “SILENT and sitting in awe.” Afterward, students were “suddenly so sweet and listened carefully and thanked me profusely for the opportunity.”
Another teacher noted that students were eager to discuss the performance and that “not a single student expressed a negative comment,” with one reflecting, “I was AMAZED that every single student followed the story from start to finish… and reflected on the theme of kindness.”
Students made personal connections as well, sharing that the experience helped them “feel more confident about being themselves” and made them “think differently about judging others.”
We are also sharing a short reaction video of students experiencing the performance—joy, surprise, and wonder in real time. It captures what these words can only begin to describe.
This impact is made possible through the generosity of donors like you! Together, you ensure access to transformative arts experiences for thousands of students each year.
With the deepest gratitude for your belief in this mission and the lives you help change every day,
Hale Centre Theatre
