It was with mixed emotions that I read in the Tehachapi News that the Youth Entertainment Showcase would be no more.
I can certainly sympathize with Nancy Grecian’s decision to drop the program after 20 wonderful years of bringing out the talent of our local youth and giving them a showcase for their talents for parents and friends.
Mrs. Grecian literally has given thousands of hours to the program she started. I don’t think the public fully understands the time, dedication and, yes, her own funds, to present outstanding dramas and musicals to our community.
She has had to deal with inadequate facilities, little funds and not enough recognition. Hundreds of our young people learned to have fun, to speak before groups and to develop self-confidence under her tutelage.
It has been a labor of love for Mrs. Grecian and as the grandfather of two of her former cast members I can only say thank you, Nancy. It was a great ride and I hate to see it end.
