Support ALA theater!
🍜 The Theater team is hosting the first fundraiser of the year - Ramen Night! Please join them next Thursday, October 9th, from 6-8 PM in the Fine Arts Building at ALA Tech to support our student actors and technicians. This fundraiser will support future productions and class activities for our students.
🎭 Our theater program is in need of community support this year. During the recent construction, the existing stage, platforms, stairs, sets, spare lumber and building materials were all thrown out. The crew for Hadestown is racing to rebuild and desperately needs funds to buy additional supplies to replace what was lost. Please consider donating to help with replacing our building materials.
You can donate on the ALA/CAST website and the QR code below.
