Sets, costumes, & props

Set building may seem daunting. But if you can swing a hammer, pull the trigger on a drill, or push a paint brush, we can use you! Our costume designers always need help with finding costume pieces, and occasionally altering or sewing specific items to get just the right look or fit. And every show needs its own unique collection of props, from vintage furniture, to weapons, to scenic decorations … the list is endless.

Fundraising

Operating expenses at our new location are over 3 times greater than at our old space. Ticket sales contribute less than half of the income we need to stay afloat. Help us raise money through sales of program ads, outreach to season sponsors and major donors, and by writing and winning grants. We need you!
