Alumni & Giving
Theatre Arts alumni drive innovation and change lives. Your support fuels our mission. Give today to empower the next generation of leaders and make a lasting impact.
Take the stage. Change lives.
Every gift to the Department of Theatre Arts makes a direct, tangible difference in our students' lives. Your generosity carries extra weight as donations help cover the true cost of bringing theatre to life: production rights, lumber, paint, costumes, as well as the lighting and sound equipment students need to train on industry-standard tools. Gifts to our scholarship funds directly ease the financial burden of pursuing a theatre education, opening doors for talented students who might not otherwise be able to attend. Your support also sends students to national conferences and international showcases, where they grow their craft and their professional networks. Thank you for investing in the next generation of theatre artists, your generosity shapes every stage they'll ever stand on.
