JWL Performing Arts Scholarship Turns 20!

The entire membership of Kirk Players is excited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the John W Lynn Performing Arts Scholarship.  Since the year 2000, each of the recipients of this distinguished award, from Carmel Catholic High School and Mundelein High School, has been a truly fine representation of academic, extracurricular and civic excellence.

Of most significant note, they have demonstrated outstanding performing arts achievement and superior leadership!

We are proud to carry on this tradition and look forward to honoring deserving students for the next 20 years!

Think of the Kirk Players on Giving Tuesday

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands.  You need to be able to throw something back.  -Maya Angelou
It all started with a love of the arts and a love for the community of Mundelein. 

Since John W. Lynn founded the group in 1966, the Kirk Players have been working to entertain theatergoers in the Lake County area and have been honored to give back to their home community.

Each year, each season, the group has presented wonderful shows, while making it a priority to serve the community in many ways.

This wonderful organization gives money annually to three elementary school districts, Mundelein High School and Mundelein Parks and Recreation Department.  The group also gives $1,000 scholarships to a Mundelein High School and Carmel Catholic High School senior who will be majoring in the performing arts. They also provide free Adult and Youth workshops in the summer that are taught by talented members of the group. 

Their dedicated Board of Directors and membership are always happy to participate in local events, the farmers markets, 4th of July parade and the annual Arts Fest.  The Kirk Players sponsor a $500 Emerging Artist Award for Arts Fest and enjoy being a part of the event every year.

The Kirk Players have become a very important and well-known organization in the area, known for their philanthropy and desire to make Mundelein a wonderful community and to provide people of all ages the opportunity to participate in or simply enjoy the performing arts.
This Giving Tuesday, November 27, 2018, we ask that you think about where you can make an impact and consider giving a donation to Kirk Players at kirkplayers.org.  Your gift will be put to great use in the arts and in the community.
Kirk Players is a 501c3 charitable organization.  All gifts are tax-deductible.
