“Share the Dream” Charity Project 2023
Each year the Colorado State Thespians raises money for our service project. For 2023 we have yet to identify a local non-profit. You can help by raising money at your school and contributing to the growing funds. Try holding a school fund-raiser prior to conference, pass a bucket at your shows, you would be surprised at how much you can raise.
