As it is in the theatre world everywhere, ticket sales alone do not cover all the various expenses associated with putting on a show. For CV without any performance related donations, each large scale production typically loses between $2,500-$5,000. In an effort to offset those costs, we traditionally have requested a “performance donation” from each family involved in the show.
For some, this can be a challenge. In response to this, OCSA has implemented a crowdfunding platform that allows each student/parent to reach out to friends and family to help raise these funds.
Cash donations to the school are tax deductible per OCSA's IRS designation as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
We are currently fundraising to help offset production costs for the following show:
Die Fledermaus
April 21, 22 2023
Symphony Hall
Requested per cast member minimum goal: $150
(but feel free to make your own individual goal higher, knowing we will put all funds raised to good use!)
All crowd-funded donations will help offset make up and costuming costs, individual and group coaching, as well as workshops and rehearsal outside of conservatory hours, including tech week.
