What is the San Juan Drama Company?
¡Hola! The San Juan Drama Company, since 2010, has been home to hundreds of youth with the aspiration to become performing artists. Some of our young actors live in public housing developments while others come from middle class homes. This keeps them away from the streets, drugs and violence as well as uniting them in what they all have in common - their passion for the arts!
During the last 5 years, we have produced over 20 theatre productions and have been able to work in different community service projects. Now we would like to expand our creative energies into television and film!
That is why we will be taking 20 of our most talented youth to Mexico City for an intensive "acting for the camera" workshop in the exclusive M&M Studio (www.patriciareyesspindola.com) from July 16th till the 31st, 2017.
We are currently facing Puerto Rico's largest economic crisis in its history but are working very hard so that this political situation will not affect our youth's dreams and goals.
For example, our final fund-raiser will be in a few weeks. It will be our presentation of the musical "The Addams Family". It will be held at the majestic Teatro Tapia in Old San Juan on the 7th, 8th and 9th of July. With the money remaining after production expenses, we are aiming to cover the tuition, some airfare tickets and hotel expenses for those most in need.
What We Need & What You Get
- Our goal for this campaign is $2,800. This will cover dinner expenses for the trip. This works out to $10 per person, per night for 15 nights.
- Once we reach our goal, the excess will allow us to add a cultural field trip and attend some of the awesome theatre productions that are currently being presented in the city.
In return for your generosity, we will be offering:
- Premiere tickets for our productions
- Your name in the rolling credits of our film course video
- San Juan Drama Club T-shirts
- Personalized Thank You videos from our youth
- Personalized letters from the group or your sponsored youth
- Advertisement in our playbill
- And other cool surprises that we're preparing for you!
