Scholarships

The Sponsor The Arts program not only provides support for The Nutcracker Sweet production and participants, but financial aid and scholarships to local middle and high school performing arts and fine arts students. We also support Miracles In Motion, a local organization that provides dance instruction to people with special needs.

The Nutcracker Sweet Ballet Production

While many patrons and participants enjoy ballet productions, few realize the costs of hosting a performance to the caliber of The Nutcracker Sweet. From costume and prop design supplies to rehearsal space rental, theater rental, set design supplies, lighting and sound design fees, website costs and insurance, the list is long. Your support enables us to host The Nutcracker Sweet production at the highest level.

Terrance Easter Scholarship Program

This scholarship fund honors the life and memory of Terrance Easter. Terrance performed in the 2017 and 2018 seasons of The Nutcracker Sweet. He was a shining example of the mission of PDM Productions. Not only was Terrance talented, he had relentless tenacity, a respectful attitude and a kind, gentle soul. Terrance is remembered for his warm smile and contagious laugh. Please consider a donation so that this scholarship can honor his memory for years to come.
