• Measured Success in Stagecraft

  Funded Aug 14, 2024

  This is my final project for Classen SAS. Indeed, it reached funding after my departure, yet never the less it did impact the education of my students. It is my sincere hope that you continue to support this fine program via other projects from other teachers, as they are just as deserving. THank you so much for all that you have done for our kids, and their theatrical hopes and dreams. To my knowledge, the materials were recieved and put to use rather quickly, as there is never a moment to waste in the theatre.”

• Brushing Up on Paint Supply

  Funded Apr 14, 2024

  Thank you again, for fulfilling this re-stock project for our program. I know my students will succeed this year because of the generosity of you folks, and the dedication you have to keeping this program afloat. Brushes are not something we think of when planning shop needs, but they are indeed a yearly replacement, especially in a program as robust and productive as ours. Brushes, pans, receptacles, and even paint itself, do not go far when more than three performances happen per year. We are consistently honored and humbled by your support.”

• Mobile Microphones Make for Magical Musical Shows

  Funded Feb 14, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous donations that allowed us to use the microphones for our production of Mamma Mia. The pit singers were able to clearly hear each other, and were also able to leave the pit for the encore of Waterloo, and sing out in the aisles and pump up the audience.

  These robust, cost effective mics are going to be easy to use for future productions and concerts. They also respond to EQ and mixing better than other mics of similar cost. It is our hope to utilize them for years to come.”

• We can make music like no other.

  Funded Nov 27, 2023

  Thank you for your generous contributions to our program. Since I joined Classen School of Advanced Studies at Northeast, we have successfully garnered over 40,000 dollars in donations from fabulous supporters such as yourself. We absolutely cannot do what we do without you, and we hope that you continue to support us in the future. These microphones will certainly be invaluable to our musical theatre program, and will also come in handy in concerts, and other events. Their inexpensive, yet robust nature make them the perfect supplemental item in our inventory.”

• A Little of This Goes a Long Way

  Funded Jul 6, 2023

  I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your generous contribution towards improving our scene shop. Your support has played a pivotal role in enhancing the theatrical experiences we provide in our school. Paint, as you know, is an essential element in creating the visual impact of our performances. With your help, we have been able to invest in paint, tape and pencils, which are necessary for the scenic carpenter to draft designs and create them in the shop.

  More than just technical improvements, your donation has also contributed to the education and growth of our students. They now have the opportunity to gain valuable skills and experiences that will serve them well in their future endeavors.”
