Donate

Thank you so much for your willingness to donate to our production. The Annual Melodrama allows a fun, safe, productive, and creative outlet for 20 or so kids at the end of 2nd Quarter. This is also an exciting adventure, because we get to take this production to the OPS One-Act Festival at South High School. We are committed to making sure that kids never have to pay an activity fee to participate in theater. 

These young people have worked so very hard, and theater is expensive. Before we purchased a single costume or prop we had to pay $500+ for the rights to produce this production and for the scripts. 

Last year we weren't allowed to charge for tickets because of the pandemic. We truly believed in that ethic of making sure every kid could participate, especially in a pandemic that had made things hard for so many families. It does mean, however, that we were low on funds starting this year. We chose to keep our base ticket price the same, because it is important to us to keep live theater affordable to everyone in our Lewis & Clark Community, but your donation means the world to us. In fact, the gracious donations and ticket sales from wonderful families during our last production has made THIS melodrama possible!

We always work with families who need help paying to see their student, and we never charge a participation fee to kids. Your kind donation allows us to feed 40 kids every show night, get every family member in to see the show, and make sure we recoup enough of our costs to produce the next 2 shows of the year. 

I always tell the kids that there is no such thing as “theater magic”, however, people like you donating to help your community give a creative outlet to so many kids and their families is pretty darn magical!
