Ferrum College Theatre Arts is also participating in this year’s SML Gives, an online giving event on March 15 that offers more than 20 Franklin County and Bedford nonprofits the opportunity to fundraise, gain exposure and build relationships.
“Our collective goal is to raise over $100,000, with an organizational goal of $8,000 to help offset production rights, wood and paint for sets, curtains, and more,” explained Rebecca Crocker, assistant professor and program coordinator for Theatre Arts at the College. “We invite everyone to take part and help us continue our longstanding tradition of bringing theatre into the schools and community of Franklin County.”
Gifts to support Ferrum College Theatre Arts and their SML Gives fundraiser may be made at https://www.onthestage.tickets/ferrum-college-theatre-arts-department/donate.
