“Our Ogdensburg show has helped many talented young people from communities across the North Country launch their careers,” said OFA Key Club President Jordan Snyder.
“At a when many performance based arts programs are facing cutbacks, our student run Key Club offers Northern New York’s most talented young people a friendly welcoming venue where they can gain experience on stage, confidence in their performance skills and an opportunity to gain credibility in their field,” Snyder said.
The Key Club has scheduled a fall talent show.
