About WINGS

The nationally recognized Lynn Meadows WINGS Performing Arts program, now in its 20th year, nurtures the talent and spirit of young people through the arts, community service and leadership. WINGS has been awarded the Coming up Taller from the President’s Council on the Arts and Humanities at the White House, the Mississippi Governor’s Award for Excellence in Arts Education and the Mississippi Humanities Educator Award.  Over 500 students from 1st to 12th grade participate annually in this program through memberships, summer programs and school outreach.  Nine productions throughout the year reach in excess of 40,000 audience members, including the traditionally underserved demographics of the young and the elderly.  WINGS has performed across the country at the Tony Award winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival, at the National WWII Museum’s Canteen Theatre and in the Southeastern Theatre Conferences’ Fringe Theatre Festival.  WINGS High School Students, the Shooting Stars, have performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C. twice.  Ninety eight percent of students completing the WINGS program go on to attend college.  All receive scholarships and grant awards for their involvement and work in the WINGS program that prides itself on presenting innovative theatrical work.
