GRATITUDE POST

RECT’s benefit performance of Aladdin, Jr. On November 22nd raised $750 for Heart of Kentucky United Way. Members of the cast and production crew presented a check to HKUM Executive Director Stephanie Blevins at the closing performance. It really make you feel much more part of your community when you can give back as well as receive.

Giving back to the local community with a benefit performance is an annual tradition begun by Barlow in 2016 during his first year as the Managing Director of Ragged Edge with support from the theatre's Board of Directors.
