Support educational arts for all!

Participation in creative programs that enhance life-skills should not be a luxury, but sadly, arts funding is limited and not always available.  Through your contributions, we aim to continue to produce and maintain accessible high quality programs and events. In order to achieve this goal, we are often in need of supplies to cut down on our many costs. Unfortunately, our budget does not always support this. 

We welcome community members and corporate sponsors to help us achieve this goal. The only way that DramaWay can continue to operate is through generous contributions from people like you. Organizations and Community businesses are joining our arts community to offer additional funds, useful supplies and incentives for our wonderful performers. In turn, we are happy to promote our corporate donors and supporting partners and businesses who align with our efforts.
