Thurlow and Kathey Spurr

In today’s troubled world, we see a growing concern for the escalating turmoil depicted in the media. The decline of moral, religious, academic, and patriotic values within our educational institutions has become increasingly apparent, overshadowed by riots, violence, and property destruction.

By establishing The Spurr Conservatory, we aim to harness the transformative power of entertainment, music, and the arts to steer society toward a more positive direction.

Our vision involves selecting one exceptional student from each of the 50 States, aged 18 to 25, to form the inaugural class of The Spurr Conservatory. Each student will receive a full scholarship and the opportunity to perform daily in our state-of-the-art theater in Branson, Missouri, with global exposure through television.

Under the guidance of accredited instructors and industry leaders, students will rapidly refine their performance and production skills. Additionally, their education will include coursework from a prestigious university, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

We are dedicated to instilling in each student a firm foundation of beliefs and values rooted in a Biblical worldview, empowering them to become influential ambassadors of light and positivity.

We invite you to join us in changing lives one at a time. We firmly believe that “the way for evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.”

Most warmly,

Thurlow and Kathey Spurr

The Thurlow and Kathey Spurr Performing Arts Center (SPAC) will initially host 50 young aspiring musicians, dancers, instrumentalists, actors, and theater technicians; one from each state of the Union. Each of these outstanding youth will be carefully selected through auditions, recommendations by their teachers, competitions, and auditions.

They will be involved in training and live performances at the Center while simultaneously enrolled in academic studies via virtual courses offered by this country’s finest universities. Their academic studies will be augmented by actual theater experience and “hands on” practical training by the finest resident and guest instructors preparing them for a lifetime of success in their chosen profession. The entertainment and training will never cease. We call it Edutainment and there is no school in the world which offers this intense opportunity for daily learning and development.

There are also extensive plans to offer a similar program for grade, middle and high school students. In a specially designed “Black Box Theater” today’s youth will be encouraged to participate in classic performances such as The Music Man, Oklahoma!, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast. The “Little Theater” is also a fully equipped audio and television studio providing daily and weekly “made for TV” shows. SPAC will be supported by the weekly TV Series AMERICA YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL.

Support SPAC to help educate and develop America’s youth.

Help us take today’s best musicians and make them champions.
