talent to participate in drama, dancing, music and play writing,
while also encouraging them to learn camera work and technical
creations.
Various presentations will be performed throughout the year

other neighboring cities who enjoy the Arts and can appreciate
young talent.
The Helen Abbott Theater of Hope invites interested parties
to join the program and bring their gifts and talents with them. |

had the privilege of learning classical dancing through Sidney's
ballet company of Philadelphia and New York. Although she did
not study drama, she was also privileged to attend many Broadway
plays, from Hello Dolly in the fifties, to Cats in the

children. |
Mayor Bob Benton, Brenda Cooper and
Children of Drama. About
Helen Abbott
|
| For
those who knew Helen Abbott, she was a concerned, caring person
who gave generously to those in the Fort Pierce Community. A
woman who had strength and courage to successfully take on major
projects in the area, financing and building over twenty homes
for those who only dreamed it could happen. Anonymously, Helen
gave thousands of dollars to senior citizen projects, funded
numerous educational programs for children, and helped
underprivileged families. She was a woman who tirelessly
worked to help others in need, asking nothing for herself.
Through Helen's overwhelming generosity, seeds of hope were
planted. A hope that will flourish in The Helen Abbott
Theater of Hope, for all to remember.
God bless her, and may her overwhelming generosity rest in
the memories of those she helped. |
