Eagle Scout Project Benefits CDC Theatre in Cranford

Harrison Brown’s Eagle Scout Project

Even during a pandemic, things are going on at CDC Theatre in Cranford. The theatre has not been able to put on its usual mix of musicals and plays due to the pandemic restrictions on gatherings mandated by the state, but that presented an opportunity for an industrious local Eagle Scout candidate.

Harrison Brown, of Troop 75, reached out to the theatre and proposed a project that might not have been possible during the theatre’s typical season. For his Eagle Scout Project, Harry and the group of volunteers he has organized will be repainting the interior of CDC Theatre auditorium.

Harry said “I chose to do this project because I have so many friends who have performed at CDC and have great memories of watching shows there. CDC Theatre is such an amazing organization that helps spread the arts to so many young people. This project is important to me because the theatre has always been such a big part of the community.”

To help raise funds for materials and supplies, Harry set-up a GoFundMe page at https://gofund.me/752c91b1. With work already underway, Harry Brown and his crew will have the theatre ready to welcome the public back to a production that is in the early planning stages for a May opening.
