Kim Cattrall helps Vancouver Youth Theatre stay afloat
Sex in the City’s Kim Cattrall has stepped in to help fill a funding gap left by the province. The Hollywood actor, who took part in acting programs during her childhood on Vancouver Island, made an unspecified donation to the Vancouver Youth Theatre on May 6.
Along with the rest of the arts community, the nonprofit society is experiencing its share of budget woes. One-third of its funding was cut last year due to the provincial government’s cuts to B.C. Gaming grants, leading to temporary lay-offs and cancelling of touring shows.
“Kim’s extraordinary gesture of support, during probably one of our toughest restructuring periods in our history, is really important because it means that others may like to donate too,” said artistic director Heather Duff.
