It probably won’t surprise anyone that funding for fine arts is limited, but the cost of doing theatre - even just the legal rights to do theatre - might astonish you. Here are just a few numbers to illustrate the challenge ACP faces:
For the 2023-2024 season, the school district was only able to provide $1,600 for each of the three shows that ACP staged. But the $4,000 licensing and royalties fees alone for the musical, Les Mis, made up about a third of the $12,500 cost of the show.
Your contribution can help bridge the gaps, providing funding for such things as guest artists like choreographers and vocal directors for the musical, or the fees for a clinic to prepare for a UIL competition. Join our Giving Circles today!
