Holy Trinity Message

WHY SUPPORT PERFORMING ARTS?

The performing arts encourages children to explore their emotions, expands their imagination, and helps them develop their own unique voice. • Many studies have concluded that children who participate in performing arts enjoy improved performance in their academic subjects. • Performing arts students gain confidence and enhanced communication skills for use in all areas of life. • Young people who participate in the arts become empowered in whatever career path they decide to take up as young adults.

Performing Arts at Holy Trinity is empowering students to become more confident individuals with improved communication skills. The Eryie Theatre Company is a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where students build community and develop amazing friendships. Students working on the stage crew are just as important as the student performing the leading role. Each member of the cast and crew depends on one another to create a successful production. They learn that teamwork is critical for success!

EIFLER THEATER RENOVATION PLANS The Eifler Theater, built in 1929, is a beautiful, historic space and a wonderful asset to the Louisville performing arts community. Holy Trinity Parish is excited for the opportunity to continue the vision and passion of Fr. Jerry Eifler in supporting the local arts. As part of our For Every Child campaign, the Eifler Theater will be restored and enhanced, bringing it back to its original glory for all to enjoy.
