Navient Foundation helps set the stage for Indiana Repertory Theatre
January 25 2016 - 12:10PM
For many people, stepping into a theatre is like a portal to a
world filled with imagination, entertainment and pure artistic
expression. To honor this tradition, Navient Foundation, the
philanthropic fund of the nation’s leading loan management,
servicing and asset recovery company, donated $10,000 to the
Indiana Repertory Theatre to help support and encourage underserved
schools in the community to attend their favorite student matinee
productions. Navient Foundation will also sponsor student matinee
showings of “To Kill a Mockingbird” and act as production partner
for “Fences.”
“We truly appreciate and celebrate Navient Foundation’s
continued support of the work we do with students and community
outreach as part of our productions at the IRT,” said Suzanne
Sweeney, managing director and COO, Indiana Repertory Theatre.
“Navient Foundation’s commitment to creating access to a brighter
future to the more than 40,000 students we serve each year connects
well with the mission of the IRT to produce work that will help
build a more vital and vibrant community.”
The Indiana Repertory Theatre seeks to produce top-quality,
professional theatre and provide experiences that engage, surprise,
challenge and entertain people throughout their lifetime to help
build a vital and vibrant community.
Beginning tomorrow through Feb. 26, the Indiana Repertory
Theatre will perform Christopher Sergel’s adaptation of “To Kill a
Mockingbird,” an American classic and an integral part of classroom
literature. Performances of “Fences,” a winner of both the Pulitzer
Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, will run from March 16 through
March 30. All student matinee productions will begin at 10 a.m.
“The Indiana Repertory Theatre has been providing entertainment
and enriching the minds of those in Central Indiana for more than
forty years,” said Jon Kroehler, senior vice president, Navient.
“Exposing children to student matinees is an excellent way to pass
down the art of theatre. We are honored to contribute to the
theatre’s initiatives.”
In 2014-15, the Indiana Repertory Theatre offered 133 student
matinee performances of nine dynamic and diverse contemporary and
classic productions and served 40,788 students and teachers from 54
of Indiana’s 92 counties. The Indiana Repertory Theatre will serve
approximately 11,000 students from across the state of Indiana with
student matinee performances of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
