OSWEGO – When the Theater Arts Youth Academy (TAYA) enters the 2021 Season, all indications are that in person productions will be limited until NYS health guidelines allow for safe attendance in the Frances Marion Brown Theater at the Civic Arts Center of Oswego.

This past October, however, the group ventured into the new technological world of virtual productions when they presented their comedy, “Do You Read Me.” And it was because of the support from the Garrett Dunsmoor Memorial Foundation, TAYA had the resources to successfully produce this show. Through the streaming company, Broadway on Demand, the production was broadcast over the airways and reached subscribers nationally.

Once again this year, the Foundation has extended its generosity to the Oswego Players, Inc. and specifically its youth theater program. This gift will be earmarked for the purchase of state of the art recording equipment for use in future TAYA programs.

The Oswego Players along with everyone involved with the Theater Arts Youth Program (TAYA), want to express their heartfelt gratitude in acknowledging the importance of keeping student theater alive in and around Oswego County.
