ORANGEVILLE - The Freeport Community Foundation Board of Directors recently awarded nine grants totaling $32,227 to area nonprofit organizations that provided a variety of programs and services benefiting northwestern Illinois.
The Mighty Richland Players Dessert Theater of Orangeville was awarded a grant of $6,056, which will come from the Matthew A. Marvin fund. The grant will be used to replace wireless microphone receivers that will bring them into compliance with new FCC, local and state regulations and also will be used to purchase other needed sound equipment.
The next show at MRPDT, "Girls' Night Out," will transform the theater into an Italian restaurant. The show is an interactive murder mystery that will have a different ending each night.
Performance dates are at 7:30 p.m. June 24 and 25 and at 2 p.m. June 26. Tickets can be purchased by calling the box office at 815-819-1310.
