In our city there is plenty of art, but there is a shining gem that is often overlooked - the Jefferson Performing Arts. Over the years, JPA has grown and established itself as a consistent producer of quality theatre of all genre. I have had the honor of directing and choreographing for JPA for many years, and the administration is always supportive. The theatre is beautiful, secure and unmatched in our area. The production team is top-notch, and words cannot describe the pleasure of performing with a full live orchestra (a JPA standard). Please join me in supporting this deserving non-profit. Help us continue to produce works like our annual "Nutcracker" ballet, "Jesus Christ Superstar" (2024) and "Billy Elliot the musical" (2025). If that is not enough incentive, remember that youth programming and the development of young artists has been a goal of JPA since its inception. Help us take that commitment to the next level. Even a small donation can make a difference. Ken
