William Endslow says, “It was such an honor to be asked to coordinate the Concert For Reading as a part of the 375th celebration. The town has been a huge part of my life after teaching here for 31 years and continuing each summer with my Five Star Theater program. Reading has so much talent and so many wonderful organizations that support the Arts. This concert is a wonderful opportunity to share some of that amazing talent with the citizens of Reading.”
