Our Crowdfunding Groups
We are raising funds to help theatre students attend the USITT (United States Institute Theatre Technology) 2023 Annual Conference and Stage Expo in St. Louis. Students will have opportunities to attend educational sessions, see exhibits and visit with attendees, making professional job contacts. Expos attendees include a wide range of professionals across the theatre and entertainment industry. Those who attended last year's conference, left with summer internships in all segments of the industry.
Braden Pauley, USITT member and Theatre Major, attended last year's USITT conference where he received a summer internship to work for STAGES St. Louis on the Pre-Broadway production of The Karate Kid The Musical and a production of In The Heights. Braden is posing for a quick picture with Ralph Macchio, lead actor in Karate Kid.
