The Theatre School Gala LIGHTS UP! 2020

Supporting scholarships is now more critical than ever as students face new challenges due to the global pandemic, including loss of income, housing and food insecurity, and lack of access to the technology required for virtual learning. Our students are adapting and finding new ways to create digital theatrical experiences that speak to the current moment of civil unrest and division in our country. They are leading the way in revolutionizing the way we see and think about theatre, always with our core values at heart: Education, Respect, Freedom, Imagination, and Spirituality. Please consider donating today in any amount and tuning into The Theatre School Gala LIGHTS UP! at Home, a virtual gala, which will be held on Nov. 12th at 6 p.m. CST. All proceeds go directly to The Theatre School Scholarship Fund. 

Please join us for the virtual gala! The website www.lightsupathome.com will open at 5:30 p.m. CDT and the program will begin at 6:00 p.m. We invite you to sign on before 6:00 p.m. to view photos of the gala through the years. 

 

The Theatre School would like to thank the DePaul University Office of the President and the DePaul University School of Music for their support of this event. We would also like to thank our generous sponsors!
