2008 Sullivan Scholarship Recipient

Meghan Gray

$ 500

Meghan Gray recently graduated from Central Kitsap High School and plans to attend Benedictine College in Kansas. Meghan received the $500 Sullivan Scholarship. Meghan plans to be a music teacher and wishes to continue her involvement in theatre productions. Singing is Meghan’s discipline and she wants to “transmit the joy and satisfaction she has received from music to students through involvement in the teaching profession. Meghan has been involved with 11 CSTOCK productions both on and off stage. Her first show was King and I. Off-stage, Meghan has worked in the light booth for six shows and has learned to "appreciate theatre and all the behind-the-scenes work that often goes unrecognized by audiences for its ability to create the magical world of each production."

Jamie has been in 25 productions in Kitsap County, 18 with CSTOCK, the first at the young age of 6.

Jamie’s dream is to direct. She received the $1,000 Sullivan Scholarship. CSTOCK director, Greg Williams, said in his recommendation for Jamie, "Jamie is a genuine asset to any theatre, from her positive attitude, her patience, to her humility and wide spectrum of believable characters."
