Thanks to monies provided by the Marathon Fund Committee, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts was recently able to purchase an indoor/outdoor stage.  The stage was used for the first time during the HCA Spring Arts Festival, and will be used during the Summer Music Festival on June 23; Shakespeare Under the Stars on August 4, 5 and 6; and the Summer Jazz Festival every Saturday during the summer.  It is also available for use by other non-profit groups in town.

“This was a very generous gift and will make a tremendous difference in our outdoor performances,” said Kelly Grill, executive director of the HCA.  “Being slightly elevated and on a firm, stable surface is more comfortable for performers and also makes it easier for the audience to see them."
