Fundraising for a Van for our RepCompany!

Every school year, a troupe of Master of Fine Arts in Performance candidates from the University of Louisville Theatre Arts Department perform plays in repertory for thousands of children, teachers, and other members of our community. Since its first performance on January 20, 1975, the Repertory Company has become one of the most visible aspects of the Theatre Arts Department at UofL, having performed for more than 100,000 people. The Repertory Company’s long history is rooted in the belief that all youth deserve access to quality arts engagement and programming. Moreover, the versatile tour structure allows the company to bring these vital experiences to a diverse range of schools and communities. To help continue this program, we are trying to get a van to help us with traveling. Currently, our MFA students are using their own cars to travel to these performances. Because each MFA class is different, they may not always have cars or cars big enough to transport the set for the traveling show. A van would be a great resource for our program as it would allow for us to provide a more consistent experience. It would also serve as a great marketing opportunity and help spread our mission further.
