[GHENT, NY] The Ghent Playhouse presented a check for $ 2700 to the Columbia County EMS Education program representative PJ Keeler on February 11th. The donation resulted from a benefit reading of Edith Wharton’s Roman Fever earlier in January. Ghent Playhouse Artistic Director Cathy Lee-Visscher, Roman Fever Producer Vivian Wachsberger and Board President Linda Murawski were also on hand for the presentation.
“We try each Season to give back to the community that has supported us throughout the years”, said President Linda Murawski. “Community theater only survives with the support of the community.”
This Benefit production of Roman Fever was made possible by those donating their time and skills: Producer Vivian Wachsberger who also adapted the story for our stage, The Cast – Meg Dooley, Dianne Hobden, Wendy Power Spielmann, and all the behind-the-scenes volunteers.
If you missed the production and would like to donate, checks may be mailed to Columbia County EMS Education, 85 Industrial Tract, Hudson, NY 12534. For more information on the program, visit their website at ccemscoordinator.com
