Beth Troxell made a presentation to the council last night.
Troxell, a Columbia resident, is also a teacher at the Milton Hershey School. According to a bio at zoomInfo, she “has dedicated her professional life to turning children on to theatre. Teaching full time at The Milton Hershey School since 1996, she previously founded CHAOS Camp Hill Actors on Stage, an after school program dedicated to young children performing the classics. Beth has a Masters in Theatre Arts from The Pennsylvania State University, has directed numerous productions with children including Julius Caesar, Moby Dick, Cyrano de Bergerac, A Thousand Paper Cranes, Beauty and the Beast, and Taming of the Shrew.”
Last night, she raved about the potential that Columbia as a creative incubator; she cited the current phenomenon of creative and artistic resurgence that’s happening in Detroit.
She pointed to a current initiative, her husband’s film project, Sushi Cop, at kickstarter.com.
She asked the council to consider allowing the Susquehanna Center for the Creative Arts to place signage in downtown Columbia pointing visitors to its location at 224 Locust Street.

Good for her!! Another person that understands, the children are our future!!
Teach them well, show them the beauty they pocess inside!
Give them a sense of pride!!!
Hope she gets the proper support and background history!
