Portage la Prairie's Glesby Theatre is endowed $2,000 dollars more after a cheque was presented yesterday at Golden West Radio by Portage la Prairie station manager Paul Harland.

"I'm still trembling," says Carolyn Gray, theatre executive director. "The Glesby Theatre was the recipient of a wonderful endowment from CFRY. We were just given a beautiful, generous cheque to support our concert season. We are thrilled."

She says the money's vital for bringing in their artists. She also reminds you that ticket sales are needed. Gray adds she's extremely grateful and appreciates how Golden West Radio is so supportive of the theatre.

Harland adds the company wants to ensure there's as much local talent showcased in our community as possible, and what better place than the Glesby Theatre, as well as our stations.

"It's a great opportunity for us to give back to the community, and obviously we support local talent and play as much local on our station's music as we can," adds Harland.
