Jillian Billester Scholarship Benefit

Description

The Psychedellos, along with The Fargo Brothers and other special guests, will perform at a special concert on Friday, October 21, at 7:00 pm. Open seating tickets are $15 and the dance floor will be open. The show is a benefit for the Jillian Billester Scholarship, established last year and open to area students showing a commitment to both the arts and their community. The 2015 recipient was Clara Carstensen who will be completing her A.A. degree this school year, as a high school senior, with plans to go on to college to major in Theatre Arts. This year two students will receive scholarships to be announced at the concert. The scholarship is in honor of the late Jillian Billester, one time Executive Director of the Lake County Arts Council and the visionary behind the transformation of a shuttered 1947 movie theatre into what is today the Soper Reese Theatre, a renovated, vibrant performing arts center for the Lake County community. Those wishing to make a contribution to the scholarship fund can contact Mike Adams at the Soper Reese at 263-0577 or info@soperreesetheatre.com. Tickets to the benefit concert are now available at: soperreesetheatre.com or at The Travel Center, 1265 S. Main St., Lakeport, from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. The theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport. For more information call 707-263-0577.
