The main objective of this campaign is to fund the rigging and curtains. Since this is the first ever fundraising campaign for our Theater Arts program, we have decided to also work on establishing funds for the musical, the summer program, and for long-term needs. The cost breakdown is as follows:
| Item | Cost |
| Main curtain | $3,000 |
| Main valance | $800 |
| Mid-stage traveler curtains | $2,500 |
| Upstage traveler curtains | $2,500 |
| Upstage continuous black curtain | $1,500 |
| Wide tab curtains - upstage to downstage | $2,500 |
| Curtains from stage left to stage right | $2,500 |
| Border curtains to conceal equipment | $2,000 |
| Replace 4 onstage lighting positions | $8,000 |
| Battens & hardware for mid-stage & upstage traveler curtains | $5,500 |
| Replace upstage curtain/backdrop battens | $3,400 |
| Replace battens for main curtain track | $3,500 |
| Upstage to downstage battens & hardware | $5,400 |
| Replace/add utility battens | $3,400 |
| Theater Arts summer program | $5,000 |
| Theater Arts musical needs | $5,000 |
| Permanent Fund for Theater Arts needs | $18,500 |
| Total: $75,000 |
The campaign will continue until all funds are raised to complete all pieces of the full stage renovation. We will then continue to fundraise to establish the necessary funds to assist the Theatre Arts program moving forward.
In addition to personal donations, we are also seeking grants to help with the campaign, so our goal is to raise the full $75,000. However, the curtain project is our top priority. We cannot hang the curtains without the proper hardware, so covering the cost of the hardware must happen first. In this case, we truly need the "nuts and bolts!"
We are looking for support from our entire OLSH community and beyond - including theatre alumni and their families, families of students involved in theatre currently, and anyone else who has enjoyed an OLSH theatre production.
OLSH students have participated in the Theater Arts program for 25 years, with alums of the programming now working in all fields from the arts to medical fields to engineering. For alumni, a donation is a great way to honor the role the OLSH Theater program played in your life.
