Kankakee Valley Theatre Association issued the following announcement on June 5.
This summer finds theatre professionals ‘taking a bow’ alongside local businesses as they share the spotlight with Kankakee Valley Theatre Association’s Capital Campaign: Breaking the Fourth Wall.
The Carrier Corporation has joined resources with Goodberlet Home Services to provide a unique, theatrical experience for the audience. Exclusively designed to spotlight the contributions made by local businesses as they enhance the arts within Kankakee County, these sponsors are setting the stage for professional theatre excellence.
In support of our KTVA mission, we’re excited to have professional actor, singer and versatile entertainer Wayne Powers lend his talents to the lead role of Willie Clark for KVTA’s authentic production of Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys.”
