Before the Final Curtain Rises, You Can Help Change a Student’s Future.
Before the Final Curtain Rises, You Can Help Change a Student’s Future.
Sue Wignall inspired students at Moline High School and Coolidge Junior High in the classroom, on stage, in hallways, and in countless moments that shaped lives. Now in retirement, Wig is returning to MHS for a special benefit weekend, directing a show that celebrates the power of storytelling, music, and community.
But before the lights come up, we need your help. While ticket sales and continued support will help sustain the scholarship fund, we are seeking donations now to bring this production to life.
These performances benefit the Susan Wignall Legacy Performing Arts Scholarship, managed by the Moline Regional Community Foundation to help future MHS graduates pursue college, training, and opportunities they might not otherwise be able to afford. Your tax-deductible gift now helps make this possible — supporting production and staging, music, technical staff, and venue expenses — while laying the foundation for scholarships that will impact students for years to come.
This is more than a performance.
This is a homecoming.

Wig played a transformative role in shaping who I am today as both a litigator and a public speaker. Before performing in one of her shows (Peter Pan), I struggled with confidence and speaking in front of others. Wig believed in me when I failed to believe in myself …. Wig helped me find my voice and gain the confidence that has led me to become a successful attorney.

Wig was one of the most accepting, kind, and welcoming teachers I have ever known. She included so many of us - and she believed in us. Because she believed in me, I learned to trust myself. She gave me confidence and opportunity. From her, I learned how to work as a creative professional. That has served me my whole life. I learned it was possible to work in the arts, to be in community, to collaborate and learn with others.
