Support Theatre Education in West Cobb, Georgia

Thank you for your ongoing support of Firefly Theatrical, a studio where we train young people in performing arts of acting, singing, dancing, and technical theater. At Firefly, we create a supportive environment for students to grow through training, self-reflection, and performance opportunities. Our students express greater confidence, self-awareness, and communication skills. 

Since our inception in 2021, we have not only created programs to train young artists, but also created our own performance venue. As we continue to evolve, we need public support to make these theater dreams a reality. In 2023, we founded Firefly Arts Education Inc, a 501(c)3 non-profit umbrella organization that helps bridge the gap between the revenue generated from student tuition and the full scope of our operational expenses. These expenses encompass not only lease payments and facility overhead costs but also production expenses, staffing, software and licensing fees, and a myriad of other essentials that keep our programs running smoothly. Your support is invaluable, and your tax-deductible donations of any size make a significant impact. This Annual Appeal plays a vital role in sustaining our organization's operations.

Some of our milestones in the last year include:

• Produced five full length musicals, three junior musicals, and two plays.

• Served 215 students in 2022-23 productions, classes, and camps.

• Gave more than $10,000 in financial aid to students in need.

• A summer program for college age students to continue their growth and joy in theater. 

• Employed five teaching artists and two college age stage managers.

• Partnered with Kennesaw State University’s theater students to teach classes and camps.  

Our goals for 2024-25

• Produce four full length musicals, four junior musicals, and two plays.

• Place a stronger focus on training with 13 classes per semester (up from 4). 

• Grow our student enrollment by 50%.

• Grow an even more robust financial aid program.

• Further our partnership with Kennesaw State University.

• Reduce debt burden from construction loans. 

Thank you for considering Firefly Theatrical as a valuable part of your community and worthy of your financial support. We hope we can be a part of your theater life.
