Momentum Collective Inc. has recently received a grant award from the City of Alexandria Office of the Arts, as seed money to restart a children’s performing arts group within the city. In partnership with the city’s recreation department, the school system, and the housing authority, we intend to provide at least two musical productions annually that will harness the tremendous talents of youth within the city and present memorable performances. Our first production , which will be partly funded by the grant, is Aladdin Jr., which opens November 16. We are tremendously gratefully for the continued funding support from the city as we expand our artistic reach throughout the city. Currently we are serving over 200 youth and through programs such as the children’s performing arts group, we hope to positively impact and transform the lives of many more.
