A local theatre is spreading hope, one performance at a time. This time, The Hopebox Theatre in Kaysville is stepping up to help one of their own.
Kendra Reese plays the bass guitar with her partner Ken in the band “Silence The Critic.”
“I actually love playing the bass because I can dance and play the bass,” she said.
A couple of months ago, she got to perform here at the Hopebox Theatre during their production of ‘Oliver.’
“That to me was a dream come true because I’ve always wanted to participate and that was my chance to do it,” said Reese.
“This place is special,” said founder, Jan Williams. “We come together and do something pretty miraculously.”
For every production at the Hopebox Theatre, a portion of ticket sales and all the funds raised by scanning a QR code or dropping cash in the box, go to someone in the community battling cancer.
“I can’t tell you how many times I hear, you have no idea what this means to our family,” said Williams.
She has fought cancer 4 times. She founded Hopebox Theatre when the idea struck her after a group sang for her at her doorstep when she had cancer for the third time.
