"Kensington Artist Staging Fundraiser for Arts Education"

Gary is involved in much more than just his sculpture studio and business.  One of his other involvements is Theatre Lab School of Dramatic Arts in DC where he serves on their board of directors.  The Gazette just published a nice article about an important fundraising effort by the school with Gary at the head.  They are currently raising money to fund a scholarship to allow children to attend who would not otherwise be able.

Kensington artist Gary Rosenthal is sponsoring an event May 21 to kick-off a fundraising campaign directed at creating scholarships for at-risk children.
"Theater is just so empowering, especially for young children," Rosenthal said. "I've seen it with my own children and these at-risk kids; it doesn't just teach you about make believe, it teaches you about real life."
He said he hopes to raise at least $55,000 to send more than 100 children disenfranchised by poverty to summer camps hosted by the Theatre Lab School of Dramatic Arts in Washington, D.C.
The Summer Acting Camps for Kids and the Musical Theatre Camp for Kids serves children as old as 13, and aims to introduce children to artistic expression and cultivate their self-confidence.
Rosenthal owns and operates an art studio in Kensington and is a Judaic artist who specializes in combining copper, brass and steel with glass to create pieces. He also is a member of the Theatre Lab's Board of Directors.
Tickets are $75. The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 21 at the school, 733 8th St. N.W., Washington, D.C.
