When Helen Rapp's younger brother Turner was diagnosed with type 1 (juvenile) diabetes six years ago when he was 10. Helen wanted to help find a cure. She's the creative force behind the Arch City Theater Troupe and their annual free, family-friendly, fun-filled musical event. This annual performance should bring total funds raised for research to treat, cure and ultimately prevent diabetes to over $100,000 this year.
Starring and directed by forty students from 20 local schools, the show will feature numbers from some of your favorite musicals including “The Music Man”, “Hairspray”, “Shrek” and more. There will be a yummy bake sale and all proceeds from the evening will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. For more information call (314) 249-7175.
