| In the year
2000, the Board of Directors of the Arcadia Theater expanded
their mission to include the cultural needs of the children
of the Greater Johnstown and surrounding regions through
live children's theater. The "Coal-ala-Bear" Series
name was derived to honor the coal heritage of Windber, PA
(home of the Arcadia Theater). In 2001, the Whalley
Charitable Trust made a commitment to support the series. |
