-We are currently asking for your support in helping to grow our Academy so that we may reach more students and enrich more lives!
We believe that the year 2020 will make a turn for the better, as we look forward to a greater impact and brighter future for Sudbrink Performance Academy.
WHY NOW?
In September 2015, we offered our FIRST independent group classes under the name Sudbrink Performance Academy. At that time, we paid to rent space at Waukesha Civic Theater to hold those classes. Since then, we have celebrated more than 4 years of providing new growth opportunities and education to our community. In that time, we've been blessed to move into our own location and have produced three full-scale musicals that were mounted at rented theater venues. Our fourth independently produced musical will be launched this summer, and we need help funding the costs. We are proud to present Descendants the Musical this August!
WHY DO WE NEED DONATIONS?
Our organization is only able to exist thanks to donations that come from our supporters, the community, area businesses, and our own staff. As a nonprofit organization, we use all donations toward the cost of programs. The amount of programs that we can offer is limited to the budget that we have available to draw from. After the forced closure of nonessential businesses, our organization suffered financially. We were unable to offer a spring class session, which would normally help pay overhead and program costs. We are proud of our home on Main Street, and our past achievements, but now we are starting at a deficit as we move forward and build our future. Our organization did not qualify for the 47 relief programs we applied for at the beginning of the pandemic. We are a little guy, and because of that, we need your support more than ever!
WHAT ARE OUR PLANS/DREAMS/GOALS?
We had different dreams six months ago than we have now. Right now our largest focus is on giving our young actors an escape, something to focus positive energy on, a community, and a unified experience of working toward a goal. Many of these young people need theatre to thrive. We are here to fill that need, after so much else has been taken away. We are focused on keeping them safe as we ease back into our art. We are here to also provide our community an escape. An entertaining story told out live onstage, a bonding of humans through art and storytelling. Theatre teaches empathy and human connection - and we need those lessons now more than ever as we ease back into normal life.
