Welcome to Bigelow Drama! We are grateful for the support of families- you make our program possible. We ask for funding in a variety of ways and want you to know how your contributions make a difference for Bigelow Drama!
-Ticket Sales and Bake Sales: This money pays for the expenses directly incurred by this show. The rights to produce the show, the costumes, the materials needed to build sets and props, and any special needs like fight choreographers, pit band musicians, puppets, etc.
-Bundle Package: This pays for things that are for your particular student, like the show t-shirt, snacks and meals.
-Parents of Performing Arts Students (POPS): POPS fundraising pays for foundational equipment and maintenance, like the theatre lights, sound system, headset system, costume storage, and even the black chairs the audience sits in.
-$150 Drama fee- This fee goes to NPS into the general, multimillion dollar NPS budget. It doesn’t go directly to Bigelow or drama in any way, though it indirectly contributes to what NPS pays for.
-NPS pays for the director, music director, and accompanist’s salaries. (Though it’s worth noting that all of those salaries are less than the salary for coaching any middle school sport.)
ALL students, regardless of finances, are welcome in drama. NO STUDENT is EVER turned away due to financial need.
We are grateful for all the ways families support the performing arts!
