Each year since 1956 the Neshaminy Valley Music Theatre has produced a full Broadway-type musical stage show. The proceeds of the production contribute to a scholarship fund which is awarded to graduating seniors of the Neshaminy School District who plan to continue their studies in the fine or performing arts. Since its founding, NVMT has awarded over $123,000 in scholarship grants to deserving students.

We are very pleased and proud to announce the recipients of our 2011 scholarship grants.

	Sean Daniel (Danny) O’Neill is the winner of the scholarship named for the founder of NVMT. Danny will be studying at West Chester University where he will major in music education for voice with related study in music performance. His ambition is to become a high school choral director and jazz band director. In addition to his vocal talents, Danny plays piano, trumpet, and upright/electric bass and hopes to continue to perform in all of these areas.
Angelica Grau won the 2011 Joseph J. McGlade Scholarship. Angelica will attend West Chester University in the fall studying vocal music and music education. Her career goal is to pass on to her future students the common bond of a love for music that she feels and with which she hopes to connect with them as fellow musicians.
	Nicole Pomponio will attend Montclair State University in New Jersey where she will study speech communication with a musical theater minor. Nicole has been president of the Neshaminy High School Drama Club, performed at the Bucks County Playhouse children’s theatre, holds three performing positions at Sesame Place in Langhorne and has been in eighteen musicals. She plans to continue her involvement in theatre in college and beyond.
