$10,000 Goal

The St. Paul Central High School theatre program is a vibrant community of student actors, technicians, musicians, and dedicated teachers who put on intricate productions each year on a very modest budget.  The Theatre Boosters support this critical program and we invite you to join us.  All money raised is used for equipment, supplies, stipends to pay teaching artists, and other program expenses.  Thank you!

Each school year, Central Theatre puts on three productions. Our fall musical and spring play are directed by Emily Gill. Each winter, there is also a student-directed cabaret revue, which Karen Palmen advises. While the district does pay for a large percentage of the creative team, the cost to put on several productions per year is not funded by the district.  Just securing the rights to put on a production carries a hefty price tag!    This means that all of our expenses must be fully covered by outside sources.  

Your donation goes directly to cover the cost of:  

•  stipends to pay professional artists to help with each production 
   (For each production, we depend on the expertise of a choreographer, tech director, costumer, and props master.

•  securing the rights to put on each production 

•  costumes (Sourcing and/or making these costumes takes time,  dedication, and sufficient funds.)

•  set construction pieces and paint supplies (All of the wood, hardware, paint, and extraneous supplies need to be sourced and the set efficiently built for maximum use of the supplies that we have.) 

•  make up and hairstyling supplies (that are unique to each character)

•  theatre production equipment (In the last few years, your donations have helped us purchase a new sound board, lights, and other much-needed upgrades to our equipment.)
