Our Summer Academy provides high\u2011quality instruction in acting, dance, and vocal performance, offering young people a safe, supportive, and creatively challenging environment where they can develop artistic skills, build confidence, and discover their own potential.<br \/>\nAs a small nonprofit serving a rural region with limited access to arts education, Ghostlight is committed to ensuring that all youth\u2014regardless of financial circumstance\u2014can participate. Funding from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will directly support teaching artist stipends, classroom and rehearsal materials, choreography and music resources, costumes, and production supplies. These elements are essential to delivering a professional\u2011level educational experience that remains affordable for families.<br \/>\nGhostlight Summer Academy engages students ages 8\u201318 in a structured curriculum that blends technique training with hands\u2011on rehearsal and performance opportunities. Participants learn foundational and advanced skills in movement, character development, ensemble work, vocal technique, and stagecraft. Beyond artistic growth, the program fosters teamwork, discipline, communication, and self\u2011expression\u2014skills that benefit young people far beyond the stage.<br \/>\nGrant support will allow us to increase enrollment capacity, strengthen our instructional team, and expand scholarship availability so that no student is turned away. All funds will be fully utilized within the grant year, in alignment with Foundation guidelines .<br \/>\nBy investing in Ghostlight Summer Academy, the Hermanowski Family Foundation will help empower young people in our community with meaningful arts education, mentorship, and creative opportunity\u2014equipping them with tools to thrive both artistically and personally.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 12500.00<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): 6500.00<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 3 week summer program <br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Olympic Peninsula, Port Angeles, State of Washington<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 8-18<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mrs<br \/>\nContact First Name: Maria<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Rentas<br \/>\nContact Title: Grant &amp; Facilities Coordinator\/Boardmember<br \/>\nContact Phone: (360) 460-6166<br \/>\nContact Email: maria.rentas@ghostlightwa.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Ghostlight Productions Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Ghostlight Productions Mailing Address: P O Box 1657, 124 East First Street City: Port Angeles State: WA Postal Code: 98362 Main Phone: 3604606166 or 3602070130 Main Fax: Organization Website: www.ghostlightwa.org Employer ID Number: 82-4241988 Organization Tax Status: Non-profit [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9788"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9789,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9788\/revisions\/9789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
