KCAIC Award Aids ICC Fine Arts

Independence, KS - The William Inge Theatre at Independence Community College recently received a grant from the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission (KCAIC) to upgrade backstage and technical capabilities.

The award of $2,283.00 helps the college purchase backstage audio and video monitoring equipment as well as equipment carriers for use in theater productions and performances.

“Our foundation board is pleased to aid these acquisitions to enhance the future experiences of all performers, students, and audiences at the William Inge Theatre and fine arts events,” said Mandy Monroy, ICC foundation president.

The backstage audio and video monitoring system allows performers in the various parts of the Fine Arts Building to hear and see the action on stage. The portable carriers are for moving and storage of musician chairs and music stands.

This project is supported in part by the KCAIC, which is dedicated to promoting, supporting, and expanding Kansas’ creative industries and enriching communities through arts and culture. The KCAIC receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
