The Theatre Lab's
"Send a Kid to Theatre Camp" Dramathon!

It's time once again for the most exciting fundraiser you can imagine: The Theatre Lab's Dramathon!

 

Picture this: you, a dedicated volunteer, have spent four weeks raising money to allow underprivileged kids to attend summer drama camp. Now you're standing on stage at Theater J next to a Helen Hayes award-winning actor, performing an original short play before an adoring crowd! Sounds fun, right? Well now's your chance to make it happen!

 

The Dramathon is a part of our annual Send a Kid to Camp fundraising campaign. Here's how it works: 

• Call us at 202-824-0449 to register.
• Raise money for The Theatre Lab's scholarship program between April 2 and May 4 (get donations from friends and family, have a bake sale, anything you can think!)  
• Raise at least $100 and you will get to perform in our late-night Dramathon on May 18th at Theater J! The more money you raise, the more acting you get to do!

The Dramathon is an evening of readings of original ten-minute plays by some of our best local playwrights, along with DC's top professional actors and directors. The winners of the fund-raising drive will get one rehearsal with their respective director before hitting the boards with the pros the night of the performance. Last year's Dramathon was a huge success, presenting an exciting evening of new theatre pieces as well as raising over $10,000 for The Theatre Lab's financial aid fund! 

 

Participants will pay a $25 entry fee/starting donation that will be applied towards their fund-raising total (this means you only have to raise $75 to hit the minimum of $100 to be eligible to perform in the show; but remember, only the top earners above $100 will be selected). We will create a page for registered participants on our website to accept online donations, making the fund-raising process even easier!   

 

All the money raised will go directly to The Theatre Lab's Scholarship Fund.  

 

For information and registration, give us a call at 202-824-0449.  

Be a star - and make a kid one, too!
