Through intense competitions, Andre was selected from all Dramatic Arts
students to represent California and Idyllwild Arts as the entry in the
English-Speaking Union’s (ESU) National Shakespeare competition in New
York City. For 100 years, the ESU educational and cultural programs have
been enriched the lives of students, teachers, English language
learners, and ESU members.
“The Associates are proud to support such a talented and creative
student as he enters the national ESU Shakespeare competition at Lincoln
Center in New York City. This is why the Associates exist: to support
arts education and opportunities. Best of luck, Andre,” said Michael
Slocum, president of the Associates.
The money raised for this grant was a special fundraiser; it did not
take any money from the Associates’ Scholarship Fund.
The Associates of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation are a separate 501©3
nonprofit organization in California.
The purpose of this organization is to act as a nonprofit association
for the support of education in the arts, particularly the program of
the Idyllwild Arts Academy/Summer Program, and to provide cultural
activities for the community of Idyllwild.
