THE Noosa Art Theatre’s latest production, The 39 Steps, will help raise funds for women in university with a special charity performance.
The special performance will be held on Wednesday 14 September, at 7.30pm, and will raise funds for the Zonta Club of Noosa, which provides bursaries to women studying science and business at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC).
The Zonta club offers three bursaries worth $1000 each, with one for a student studying science with an environmental focus, one for a business student and a third bursary for an Indigenous female student studying an education or allied degree.
Winners are selected after an interview process, which considers grades achieved, financial hardship, and other factors such as community involvement.
Zonta club members said the standard of applicants was exceptionally high this year, but ultimately Georgia Grayson for business studies, Justine Marechal for science studies and Indigenous student Jennifer Briese won the awards.
Tickets for the charity performance of The 39 Steps are available online from www.noosaartstheatre.org.au or in person at the Noosa Arts Theatre, 163 Weyba Road, Noosaville.
