RIVER CITY REPERTORY THEATRE RECEIVES
CHARLES T. BEAIRD FUNDING
River City Repertory Theatre was recently awarded financial support from the
The Community Foundation of Shreveport/Bossier-Carolyn W. & Charles T. Beaird Donor Advised Fund. The funding will provide support for the theatre’s
purchasing of lighting equipment.
As River City Rep moves toward having a permanent home in downtown Shreveport, the theatre company is actively pursuing purchasing the technical equipment the company will need for future productions in its new space. Earlier in the year, a donation of body microphones and sound equipment was made by Edwin and Candace Higginbotham.
This is the second consecutive year that the Beaird Foundation has provided funding for River City Rep.
