Lake Plains Players is honored to announce the 2025 recipient of the Lance Anderson Memorial Scholarship, Lyla Wasilewski.
Lyla is a Starpoint High School senior who plans to attend University at Buffalo in the fall for a Bachelor’s of Theater Arts combined with Master’s of Arts Administration.
Lyla has served as a student director at Starpoint for the past two years and found it to be not only impactful, but has also learned a tremendous amount of leadership skills, among countless other things. Lyla hopes to help others by giving them access to the theater arts in the future.
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 in 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.
