UI Theatre fans are amazing, and soooooooo generous!

October 22, 2019

We've exceeded our campaign goal. We're at 109% and there's still 7 days left before the crowdfunding platform for our new SawStop officially closes. Any additional money we raise will be put to great use for the many ongoing technical and productions needs we have. A huge and sincere thank you to everyone who helped make this campaign a success -- our Ambassadors and everyone who helped spread the word -- and most importantly, our donors. You will be hearing from us again after the U&I Give campaign if officially over. But for now, you have my immense gratitude!

Campaign Launch Announcement

October 08, 2019

Fans of theatre arts! We’ve made you laugh, we’ve made you cry, and we sincerely hope we’ve made you think over the years, with the wide variety of plays we produce. That’s why we’re turning to our audience now – the people we’re ultimately creating great theatre for – to help us in this fundraising campaign to raise the money to buy a new table saw for our scene shop! But this isn’t any old saw—it’s a state of the art stop saw, and it’s the safest on the market today! We really hope we can count on your support. We have 3 weeks from today to meet our goal. Please share this announcement with everyone you know!
