Every rehearsal, costume and lighting cue is paid for by people who believe young performers deserve a real stage.
Tuition covers part of a season. The rest comes from people and businesses in Rhode Island who want young performers on a real stage.
A one-off gift goes straight into the season. The performance rights for a title like Oliver! have to be paid for before a single rehearsal begins.
Scripts, costume materials, set timber, performance rights.
No student is turned away for want of tuition if we can help it. A sponsored membership, in full or in part, is the difference between watching and taking part.
One young performer in the rehearsal room for a full production.
Local businesses can stand behind a production and be named in the printed program that every family takes home with them.
Your name in front of five audiences across performance week.
Most of the work happens long before the doors open, and a production needs far more hands than the ones on stage.
Sewing, painting, carpentry, front of house, photography, driving.
A gift can be made below in under a minute. For a sponsored membership, a business sponsorship or a few hours of your time, write to us and tell us which of the four fits you best.
Nothing here is overhead. Each amount is a line in the season's budget, and it is spent on the thing next to it.
One performer's own copy, marked up through six weeks and kept afterwards.
Fabric, thread and fittings for one part, made to fit the child playing it.
Timber, paint and hardware for one build, put together by the company itself.
A full production for one young performer whose family could not otherwise afford the tuition.
