Opening night tomorrow!!! Come and see an amazing show!

Last year, we asked for donations of drills, saws, screws, etc, and received many very generous donations. (THANK YOU!)
Now, we would like to put those tools to good use...

This year, might you consider making a monetary donation, as we seek to remodel the Media Studio into a multi-functioning Black Box Theater, Recording Studio, and Podcast space.
Ways to donate: Scan the QR Code or link below, Check made out to SBU Theatre, or Cash. All donations are tax deductible.
Thank you for your continued support of the arts at SBU!
