JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Here at Parkway Playhouse, we’re dedicated to providing a high-quality theatre education for all students, regardless of financial need. In 2025-26, through donations, we were able to provide 30 scholarships for students, ages 5-18, for classes, camps, and productions.
Will you help us continue to provide these opportunities by donating to this mission? Just click the button below to give and select “Parkway Playhouse Junior Scholarship Fund.”
These students are our future actors, directors, teachers, and technicians, and Parkway Playhouse is a space where they can feel accepted, make new friends, and have life-changing theatrical experiences, and we’re dedicated to helping them succeed!

“My favorite part of being involved with the Parkway Playhouse is that we are a teaching institution, which allows me to work in my two favorite realms: theater and education.”
Erika T.
Parkway Playhouse Junior Teacher
“My favorite thing about being at Parkway is definitely the people. We have such a strong family-like bond, and we’re always there for each other. I wouldn’t trade the memories or bonds that I have created since joining for anything!”
Addison A.
Parkway Playhouse Junior Student
“The thing I love most about parkway is the community it’s created for so many of us. As an angsty teenager, it gave me a place to express myself openly and freely, and now as an adult it allows to me to continue making the art that I enjoy so much.
Dakota W.
Parkway Playhouse Performer
“I love the atmosphere of the Playhouse. It is such a beautiful building filled with life and energy. I love watching kids learn and grow and fall in love with theater.”
