"An Access grant from the Falmouth Education Foundation allowed for the purchase of new LED PAR lights for the auditorium. “The new lights are able to connect to a computer program which allows us to design lights from any computer, either remotely or in-house,” Ms. Alice Guida, the play’s director and head of the high school’s theater department, said.  The grant was especially exciting because one of the challenges of the pandemic has been figuring out how to create quality livestreams."
