Funding Priorities

Thank you for your interest in Sierra School of Performing Arts.
It's no secret that live theater is expensive and time consuming to produce. SSPA is know for high quality shows that feature the most talented regional actors, directed by an incredibly creative production team. Funds to support these imaginative, artistic people come from participation fees, ticket sales, advertising sales, generous donations, and grants from private foundations and public agencies.
This is what you can make happen with a grant of $1,000 to $100,000.
