About Russ Kelley

The Russ Kelley Memorial Scholarship was founded to honor the hard work and dedication shown by the scholarship's namesake. Russ put in countless hours designing and constructing sets; and managing, working and fixing the sound and lighting.

He did it because he loved the theater and recognized the value that it brings to a community. FACE would like to recognize his dedication over the years and is proud to sponsor the Russell Kelley Memorial Scholarship.
