Small Intimate Theaters are Disappearing... Don't let this happen to ours!

For over two decades, the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre has been more than just a theater—it’s been a creative sanctuary where actors, writers, directors, and performers come together to nurture their talent and bring stories to life.

Perhaps you’ve sat in our audience, captivated by a performance. Maybe you've taken a class, danced through our halls, or experienced one of our award-winning immersive shows that stayed with you long after the final bow. For so many, the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre has been a place where dreams take flight, connections are made, and lives are transformed.

Since 2002, we’ve been a home for artistic discovery and expression. From first-time performers finding their footing to seasoned professionals honing their craft, we’ve hosted countless productions, workshopped groundbreaking new pieces, and created community together through intimate music nights and art openings. Even through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we persevered—becoming one of the fortunate few small theaters to reopen, stronger and more determined than ever to serve our artistic community.

But now, we face our greatest challenge.

Our creative home is in jeopardy.

Due to a sharp increase in rent and operational costs, we are in imminent danger of losing our space. In February 2025, our rent will more than double. Unless we can raise the necessary funds, we will be forced to close our doors.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

The Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre is in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which opens new opportunities for grants and long-term funding. However, this transition requires time and resources, and our time is running out. We cannot make this transition without the immediate support of our community. Your donation will help us bridge this critical gap and help us keep the theater alive as we strive toward a stable and sustainable future.

We are grateful to be fiscally sponsored by the Topa Institute, which supports projects that create community through art. Through this partnership, all contributions to our campaign are fully tax-deductible, and every dollar will go directly to sustaining the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre.

By contributing, you are preserving a vital space for independent, intimate theater, where the power of live performance continues to inspire, transform, and connect us. Your generosity will ensure that this creative home remains accessible for generations of artists to come.

Thank you for your support. Every tax-deductible donation helps secure the future of the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre.
