Here’s what Tina Fey, 1988 graduate of Upper Darby High School had to say about its Summer Stage program in a May 27, 2012 Philadelphia Inquirer story: It “was so fun that you didn’t realize you were learning teamwork and commitment and problem-solving and organization and public speaking at the same time.” It “was a home to us. We found lifelong friendships. It was a place where you could succeed and it kept us off the streets.” She also added, “It makes me upset that the only answer is to take arts away from these kids. … I got a public school education and am very proud of it. The kids growing up now deserve the same things I got. … That should be their right.”
