Each summer, HAP hosted summer camps for our young performers, giving our youngest members of the ABQ community the chance to light up the stage. To keep these fun-filled camps up and running, we charged campers a tuition. However, we knew that not all families are in a position to pay that tuition. We firmly believe that cost should not be a bar to participation, so we proudly offered scholarships to campers in need. We offered these scholarships in the loving memory of our dear friend, Kelli Ingle. |
About Kelli:
Kelli was a beloved member of our HAP family and an integral part of our company. In 2018, she music directed “Camp Rock the Musical” and “The Addams Family”, and “The Little Mermaid Jr.” the next year. In 2020 she became the original secretary of our board, a position which she held for a year and a half. Kelli taught classes and participated in all our events, bringing joy and energy to everything she touched.
Whether she was teaching kids to sing or taking impeccable notes of our board meetings, Kelli did so with love and grace. She was endlessly kind and positive and had an infectious smile. We are exceptionally proud that she was on our team. |

Kelli passed away in April 2022, leaving a hole in the hearts of the ABQ theatre community. We continued this scholarship in her memory, providing opportunities for our young campers. Kelli was kind, talented, and embodied everything we strive for at HAP- the perfect representative for this scholarship. |
