NEWS - May 1, 2008: Roosevelt High School's Musical Theatre program was awarded $100,000 in honor of AARP founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus.

The Musical Theatre Program is comprised of Roosevelt students of all ages as well as students from William H. Taft High School, Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center, and Mary Gage Peterson Elementary School, under the direction of Cliff Gabor.  This program brings together students of widely varying experiences, circumstances and cultures to enrich the lives of the students and the community.  Prior to 2003, Roosevelt had gone nearly 40 years without a theatre program.

"Our theatre program is one of a kind," said Cliff Gabor, Roosevelt High School's Musical Theatre Director.  "These kids put in so much time and effort into making the program successful and we are honored to receive this award from AARP."

AARP received several applications for the award in Chicago. The Roosevelt program was chosen for the important role the Theatre Program plays in the local community.
