Help raise funds for our theatre!

The Prosper Community Theatre kicked off its cause in January of 2018. Its mission is to bring live performance art to Prosper and the surrounding communities in North Texas. It currently comprises of a youth program for ages 6-18 and has a membership base of almost 50 kids!
With a low membership fee of only $50 for the entire year, each youth member is able to attend twice a month workshops that expose them to a wide range of topics, such as improvisation, special effects makeup, technical theater (lights and sounds), and so much more!
As well, 4 productions are planned for 2018. Each member is invited to audition for a part or to be in the production as a technical crew member or student direct or stage manager.
However, because of the low cost of membership, getting the theatre setup with props, costumes, rehearsal space, performance space, licensing, and so much more is a massive hurdle that we simply cannot jump over ourselves. We are reaching out to the North Texas community as well as the Arts community to try and help us raise the necessary funds so that we can accommodate all the plans we have.
Some of the future growth we have planned are:
1) Starting a youth improv team
2) Performing at local library story times
3) Scholarship program for members who want to join but can't afford the $50 membership fee
4) Growing the adult theater program in 2019
5) Securing a storage space for future costumes/props
6) Sound equipment (microphones, speakers, etc.)
7) Portable lighting
8) Performing at area nursing homes and rehabilitation centers
We have SO much planned, and our growth has already shot up as we have almost 50 members that have joined us in only a few months! So the need is absolutely there and we are EXCITED to see where PCT can go!
