Annual Studio Appeal

The smallest studio with the most impact! Tech supports all studios in their technical theatre needs. We need funds to purchase equipment, supplies, and to bring in consultants and industry professionals to give our teachers and students all they need for a safe build. 

Please go to the Annual Studio Appeal PayPal link. The PA suggests $250 per student, but all amounts are welcome. Please check with your employer about matching donations. You may also set up monthly donations.
