Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thanks, everyone, for all your help with our Spark campaign! Your donations will help us fund some amazing shows this year, and will allow us to continue our tradition of FREE Shakespeare for the community.
While the Spark campaign is over, you can still be involved! Come see Othello March 2nd and 3rd at 8 PM in the Bruin Reception Room!
We're less than two weeks out; Othello opens on March 1st and the cast has been hard at work with director Margaret Starbuck to create an amazing show. Here's a video from Wednesday's rehearsal!
Enjoy!
We're 40% of the way there! How soon can we reach the halfway point? Thank you for all your help; let's keep it up!
Check out our very own executive director Shayna Maci Warner modeling the t-shirt you can get by donating to the campaign!
You go, Shayna!
Thank you all for helping to jump-start our Spark campaign! We're already more than 1/5 of the way there, which is awesome!
So here's a video just for you of our Executive and Artistic Directors explaining more about us and what your donations will go toward!
We still have $3,845 to raise to support the arts in these uncertain times. Let's keep this momentum going!
