In honor of our beloved theatre director Karin Krenek, we will be showcasing all of her alumni and current students in a benefit performance called "Karin's Follies". The performance will take place on December 30, 2018,
at 2 p.m. in the Gepp Gymnasium. All proceeds from this event
will benefit the Karin Krenek Scholarship Fund.
Karin's Follies is a musical revue comprised of songs from the productions that Karin Krenek directed while at Donovan. The Performing Arts Department at Donovan Catholic would love for the alumni that participated in these shows to be a part of the performance. If you are interested in being a part of this special day, please use this link & fill out the form as soon as possible. We will be following up with specific details soon.

A special shirt will be available on our Farro's online store to commemorate this event. The front of the shirt will display the logos from all of the productions that Mrs. Krenek directed. The back of the shirt will have, in Karin's handwriting, her very special message to all of her beloved students, "You are valued, you are cherished, you are loved. Always, loved." All participants in the show will be asked to purchase a shirt. Please consider purchasing this special shirt even if you cannot participate in the event. All proceeds will benefit the scholarship.
