Walden Theatre and Blue Apple Players Merger

Exciting news! Here's the WFPL article by Erin Keane.

Blue Apple’s target audience is younger elementary students, while Walden’s focus is on older elementary through high school, so Walden board chair Michele Koch says the merger will create a more intentional “end-to-end” theater education experience for area students. 

“This is an exciting opportunity for us to bring these two entities together to make a stronger entity all focused on the children, their families and teachers,” says Koch. “And there’s also the financial strength that we have together, where we will be a combined entity of a budget of about a million dollars, which will then allow us to attract broader local and national financial support.”
