You can help Studio 180 Theatre return to a two-play season.
This coming year, Studio 180 Theatre celebrates its 15th Anniversary and you can help us return to a two-show season by donating to our DOUBLE UP fundraising campaign.
Our DOUBLE UP campaign aims to raise $6,000 by June 30, 2017 and as an added incentive, long-time supporter and past board chair, Rick Archbold, has offered to DOUBLE UP on your donation. He’ll match your donation made before June 30 up to $2,500!
Learn more about how Rick got involved with Studio 180 and why his passion for our work continues.
How your contribution helps
Ticket sales only cover 11% of our operating expenses, so we count on every dollar from individuals like you to fund our programming. Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:
- $50 enables artists to create by buying rehearsal space for a half day
- $100 hires an actor for a Studio 180 IN DEVELOPMENT workshop
- $300 teaches a class of high school students empathy by covering the costs of a Studio 180 IN CLASS workshop
