Why We’re Raising Funds

Producing a live theatrical performance involves far more than what audiences see onstage. While our students generously contribute their time, talent, and dedication, the resources needed to bring a full production to life come at a significant cost.

Here is a realistic breakdown of expenses for a single production:

• Performance rights & licensing: $2,500–$6,000

• Set construction & materials: $2,000–$4,000

• Costumes, props, & makeup: $1,500–$3,000

• Lighting & sound equipment, rentals, & supplies: $1,500–$3,000

• Programs, marketing, printing, & front-of-house needs: $500–$1,500

A single production can cost $10,000–$20,000 or more, even at the educational level.

Donations help ensure our production is safe, high-quality, and creatively ambitious without cutting corners or limiting student opportunities. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports arts education and helps transform months of hard work into a fully realized performance.

Thank you for helping make live theatre possible.
