Fund Our Fall Show!

Each show is a uniquely hand-crafted piece of art!

Our goal is to raise funds to cover the materials needed for our fall play. In recent years, we have transitioned to a self‑supported production model, with funding coming from ticket sales and generous gifts like yours during #GiveCentral.

This support allows our students to work with quality materials and professional construction techniques, mirroring real‑world theatre practices and industry standards.

For performers, that means costumes tailored to their individual body types—comfortable, expressive, and functional for performance. For designers and technicians, it means the freedom to bring bold ideas to life using thoughtfully selected materials and specialized techniques to create meaningful effects on stage.

Your Gift Makes a Direct Impact

  • $15 provides tights or socks for a performer
  • $25 purchases a roll of gaff tape
  • $50 buys a gallon of black paint
  • $100 funds materials for a stage prop
  • $200 supports one complete character costume (excluding shoes)

Larger Impact Options

  • $4,000 — Funds all costumes
  • $5,000 — Funds all scenery
  • $10,000 — Sponsors the entire fall production

If you are able to give more, the Theatre Arts program is also seeking season sponsors. We produce three shows each year, providing students with a laboratory setting to apply classroom learning through real‑world, real‑time, complex problem solving.

Each production is a uniquely handcrafted work of art. Every item on stage—from scenery to costumes—has been created by at least two student artisans and brought to life by another student artist in performance.

Your support helps transform learning into lived experience. Thank you for investing in our students’ creativity, skills, and growth.
