The brunch, hosted by Westco Productions, will launch the "Sonny Katz Scholarship Fund," providing scholarships for students majoring in some form of the performing arts. The event will be on Sunday, June 11, 2006 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in White Plains at 12:00 noon.

Seymour "Sonny" Katz is a founding member of Westco Productions' Board of Directors and has been supportive of their programs and activities since its beginning. He has even performed in a couple of their shows, most notably as the beloved Rabbi in Westco's "Fiddler On The Roof" at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie. He was instrumental in establishing this scholarship fund to help students wishing to pursue the performing arts.

A 26-year old arts organization based in White Plains, Westco's mission is to provide a full range of arts programs including, but not limited to, theatrical and musical presentations, workshops and extensive outreach programs. Over the past 26 years, Westco has entertained more than 542,000 cumulative audience members. Primary program activities include the creation and presentation of musical adaptations of children's classic literature, folktales and legends, fully staged Broadway musicals and concerts, community-based workshops for the general public and children with developmental disabilities as well as an extensive hospital touring program.

Tickets for the event are $50.00 and can be purchased by calling Westco at 914-761-7463.
