1 A Holiday Request from International Thespian Society s Troupe #4996 As a troupe, we are grateful for the opportunity to perform for our community. Being able to produce two shows for the holidays has been a tremendous privilege and a task for which we are grateful we d like to extend a special thank-you to Mr. Griggers and our administrators for supporting our efforts this evening. One of the main reasons that we wanted to produce holiday shows was to raise money for two families who are going through difficult times. Our goal is to raise $1,500 to buy presents and gift cards for our holiday families. Will you help us? In the lobby is our Money Tree. Simply clip money onto the tree and you can help us brighten someone s Christmas this year. Thank you for your support and generosity!
