Support Studio East
It's not just about being on stage
Your support brings creativity, confidence, and connection to hundreds of young people each year. Because of you:
- More than 350 performers, technicians, and creative leaders are part of our 2025–2026 Mainstage season.
- Cinderella welcomed our largest group of auditionees in years.
- Macbeth set new Bard Series records.
- More than 300 students are experiencing Outreach and SchoolStage programs.
- Nearly 500 young people are learning and growing on site through classes, camps, productions, and Intensive, and
- StoryBook Theatre will return in 2026 with Me, Jane.
As we look ahead, we are working carefully and thoughtfully to build a strong and sustainable future. Community support plays an essential role in that progress. We aim to raise $100,000 by the end of the year. This will help us move confidently into the new year and continue programming without interuption.
Every gift helps create meaningful opportunities for young artists. Whether you are joining our donor family for the first time or renewing your support, you are making a direct difference. If Studio East has inspired your child or brought joy to your family, we hope you will continue to walk with us. Thank you for believing in our mission and in the power of the arts to help young people thrive.
