Productions such as this, built from the ground up, are what foster the building of a village in the arts, and a safe sense of community.\u00a0 It is here that many of students find another home away from home.<\/p>\n<p>We are reaching out to you today because inflation makes supplies for building, costuming and outfitting a production difficult to afford.<\/p>\n<p>We are hoping that, as families who are patrons of the Arts, you would consider supporting us through one of the sponsorship options listed below.\u00a0 As a gesture of thanks, all donors will have their names listed in the Sponsorship section of our show programs!<\/p>\n<p><strong>OPTION 1: TEAM WORKS for $50 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every little bit helps and together we can make a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>OPTION 2: COSTUME SPONSORSHIP $50<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your donation will help to lower the cost for us to purchase, rent or adapt thrifted or new costume pieces for the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OPTION 3: FEED the PRODUCTION for $150 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We would really love to feed our kids for the 2 show dates where they are performing a lunch hour matinee and then an evening show.\u00a0 This sponsorship helps with items like bottled water, pizza and cookies for the kids.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>OPTION 4: SET SUPPLIES for $200-300<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lumber, doors, castors, and many other set elements have become increasingly pricey.\u00a0 We are reusing as much of our current lumber pieces as we can, but this sponsorship allows us to continue to build further as needed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>OPTION 5: SHOWTIME! for $500-1000+ <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your generous donation will greatly reduce the overall cost for the production as whole.
