Our 2009 Scholarship winner, Andrew Adolph

Lancaster resident, Andrew Adolf, is the recipient of the 2009 Aurora Players Higher Education scholarship for the study of theatre. Chosen from among many fine candidates, Andrew’s application reflected not only his passion for theatre performance, but also his balance between serious dedication and optimistic outlook, and enthusiasm.

Through a competitive audition process, Andrew has been accepted to the Theatre Performance B.F.A. Program at Niagara University. Andrew states, “…taking the audience for an enjoyable ride is an amazing feat to say the least. I discovered acting on the Lancaster Opera House stage. At that moment I began to fall in love with performing and I have never stopped. Performing became life to me.”

Andrew has starred in GODSPELL, GUYS AND DOLLS, and PYGMALION at his high school and has held roles in HMS PINAFORE, CRAZY FOR YOU, TREASURE ISLAND, and BYE BYE BIRDIE at Lancaster Opera House

Andrew holds a position on Saint Mary’s First Honor Role, is the Student Body President, and an integral member of the school soccer team. He is President of his CYO, and has been installed into the Lancaster Youth Bureau 2008 Hall of Fame for Outstanding Service to the Community.

Aurora Players is honored to award the 2009 Aurora Players scholarship to Andrew Adolf. We wish him well.
