Your Support: Lighting the Way
Together, we can transform Wisconsin from one of the lowest-ranked states for arts funding into a beacon of creativity and culture. Your support today shapes the artists, audiences, and philanthropists of tomorrow, ensuring the spirit of the season lasts all year long.
Today, we reach out to you with both gratitude and hope for a bright future.Our programs don’t just teach stage skills; they impart life skills that resonate far beyond the theater walls. Your generosity in 2023-2024 has allowed us to:

- Contribute to $60,419 in scholarships, ensuring financial limitations don’t hinder access to our Theater Academy.
