THEATRE PATRONS FUND

The Theatre Patrons Fund was originally set up in the 1980’s by Professor Tom Lasswell as an additional resource for the Theater Program’s productions and students. This fund has allocated financial support for many needs of the program that are not always able to be met by the University and its yearly program budget. The Theatre Patrons Fund shall use the dedicated monies placed in the Fund to give additional support to the Theater Program’s production costs, student’s professional development and outreach. These funds should never be used in lieu of other funding from program, department, and college budgetary resources, but only when needed resources are not available. These funds must clearly be directed to the benefit of our students’ growth and training as theatre artists, which happens both in the classroom and in the program’s productions.

If you have enjoyed what we offered tonight, we invite you to get more involved in our program by making a donation to our Theatre Patrons Fund.
