Erica Enns Scholarship Fund

The Erica Enns Scholarship Fund offers financial assistance to students and schools who wish to participate in Taproot Theatre’s education programs – the Acting Studio, Student Matinees and Educational Touring.

Taproot believes all students should have access to the arts and art education. To encourage a meaningful experience for education participants Taproot requires all students and schools to make a financial contribution at the level they are able. Scholarship funding will meet the remaining need.

The scholarship fund is named in honor of Student Matinee and Acting Studio student, Erica Enns. Erica was a vibrant member of Taproot’s education and outreach programs, who tragically died in April 2006 at the age of 17. The fund is dedicated to her life and love of theatre.
“I just love it…its better than movies and anything like that because it’s real life.” – Erica’s response to a student matinee performance.
