Likely Trumbull Budget Fight Looms Over Theater Program

Tis the season for town budgets and in Trumbull that will likely mean a battle this year.

First Selectman Tim Herbst has proposed a budget that eliminates funding for a youth theater workshop program, according to the Connecticut Post.

The town would save $58,000 by eliminating funding for the program, which takes in $69,000 in revenues itself. Herbst said it doesn’t equate to shutting down the program.

Several town residents have spoken out and created the Keep TYA in Town Facebook page, which has amassed 620 likes as of Thursday morning.

The program also serves youth outside of Trumbull.
