Pantochino Offering Scholarship for Graduating Senior in Theatre or Music

Co-producers Bert Bernardi and Jimmy Johansmeyer of award-winning Pantochino Productions Inc. are now accepting applications for the 2025 Evan Faram Memorial Scholarship.

The scholarship, in memory of founding Pantochino member Evan Faram is presented to a graduating Milford area student who is furthering their education in theatre or music. Presented by Pantochino since 2020, the scholarship memorializes Evan Faram who was a founding member of the company. The Texas-born actor and entrepreneur was a graduate of Southwestern University who performed in theaters across the country and internationally. He played the title role in Pantochino’s “Teen Santa” and also appeared in “Special Breakfast.” His young life was taken by a drunk driver in 2019. “We will always remember Evan for his talent, generosity, charisma and his zest for life,” said Bernardi.
