Do Something!
One of the reasons we can reach so many people is that we keep our fees modest and ticket prices low. To do that, we need volunteers to share a talent, skill or knowledge. If you can help us test a new program or market those we have by helping with mailings (snail and e-), if you can build a set, sew costumes, or seat patrons at a show, if you have any talent or skill to share, contact us.

Send Money!
All gifts help; the following will give you an idea of how we'll spend it—

• $15 buys the gas to get us to a few bookings in the suburbs
• $35 prints the manuals for a teacher workshop
• $60 pays the postage for a mailing to area schools
• $100 pays an actor for a typical booking of "Romeo & Juliet: Four Scenes"
• $300 covers all  actors' wages and travel expenses for a performance of The Comical Tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbie at a library
• $500 rents rehearsal space for a month
