Press Release, Lake Plains Players

Jenna Hunt

Lake Plains Players is honored to announce the 2026 recipient of the Lance Anderson Memorial Scholarship, Jenna Hunt.

Jenna is a Starpoint High School senior who plans to attend SUNY Fredonia in the fall for a Bachelor’s of Theater Production & Design. Jenna grew up attending theater productions with her parents and now has a deep passion for the arts.

She has been helping to design costumes for many years and now plans to become a professional costume designer.  Her goal is to inspire other children through the arts in the same way that she was inspired as a child.

The scholarship is a $1,000 award established in honor of the late Lance Anderson. Lance was the President of Lake Plains Players for over 10 years, and had a passion for education as well as theatre.

He was always a vocal supporter of students and a leader and one of the founders of the group’s Summer Theatre Program. He affected the lives and futures of countless young people who are now making their own contributions in the arts fields. Through this scholarship, the Lake Plains Players hope to continue to honor his legacy.
