Waiting in the Wings
For
The Theater at Rosarian Academy
That’s where you’ll find our students and our community...
waiting in the wings of our theater while this once vibrant Performing Arts Hall is being transformed into the magical stage that will change lives.
"Our vision is to transform this classic facility beyond its original grandeur!" said Mark Cook, Chairman of the Board and project overseer. "I see the rebirth of this magnificent performing arts hall not only as vitally important to Rosarian students and community children, but as a boon for the Arts in the Greater Palm Beach area."
ARTS ENRICH LIVES
The arts are about emotion as well as
intellect, and feeling as well as knowing.
Through art, we can experience the
intensity of creation and are lead to a fuller
sense of being.
