Tokar Awarded TLT Sue Hipps Memorial Scholarship

Tryon Little Theater is proud to announce that Ella Tokar is the recipient of the Sue Hipps Memorial Scholarship for the 2026-2027 academic year. This scholarship is open to high school seniors and college students who are pursuing a career in theater or related arts.

Ella Tokar is 17 and is a graduated senior. She was classically homeschooled and now intends to go to college in the fall to major in music and English. Ella loves to sing musical theater songs and classical songs, and she plays classical piano and folk and bluegrass mandolin and guitar. She is in a singer/songwriter group called Sarah and Ella and has been in bands associated with PacJam throughout high school. She has performed at the IBMA's World of Bluegrass, the Earl Scruggs Music Festival, and the Albino Skunk Music Festival. 

Ella made her musical theater debut as Lavender in TLT's production of Matilda. Also for TLT, she was in Cinderella as the Godmother and a member of the Hidden Folk in Frozen Jr. She is currently having a wonderful time rehearsing for the role of Katherine in TLT's Newsies Jr. In addition, she played the role of Storyteller and On-Stage Musician in Charlotte's Web at Flat Rock Playhouse. 

Ella says she is very thankful to receive this scholarship and for all that TLT has done to help her musical career over the years.
