10 DAYS LEFT!

October 05, 2015

We only have 10 days left and have $740 left to raise towards our goal of $5,000! We are so close, but these last few dollars are the hardest to raise and make all the difference as to whether or not we can make that new projector ours. If we also manage to raise more than our goal of $5,000 those additional funds will go towards furthering technological and multimedia advancement in our studios, classrooms and performance spaces. We still need your help!

As you know, like many other schools and departments at The University of Maryland, we rely on technologically advanced equipment to bring our ideas to life, and help us contribute more deeply to our fields and the richness of our community. The ability to work with Projection has been integral to providing our student community access to an important piece of equipment that has revolutionized theatrical stage design in the last few decades. From classroom experimentations to performance collaborations with groundbreaking artists such as Ping Chong, it is TDPS' mission is to provide students with the experience and tools needed to succeed as artists, innovators, and community contributors, but that cannot be achieved without support from people like you.

The skills students acquire through video projection classes and the practical application of these skills in the School allow students to seamlessly progress to projection designing for our prestigious Main Stage shows at the Clarice, and to working in professional venues long before they graduate. Any amount is greatly appreciated, and is also tax deductible. If you have already donated, thank you. You are helping to ensure that our programs, our students, and our community continue to innovate, lead, and thrive. Feel free to Facebook, Twitter, and share on social media! Our art will make your soul soar. 

 

$4000 in 12 days!

September 27, 2015

We’ve only been up for 12 days and we have already received 84% of contributions towards our goal of $5,000! To those who have already donated: THANK YOU. 

Though this is a truly amazing head start, and one that we are most grateful for, we still have to raise about $1000 only 18 days. If we manage to raise more than our goal of $5,000 those additional funds will go towards furthering technological and multimedia advancement in our studios, classrooms and performance spaces. We still need your help!
