Your Gift Brings Art to Our Community

Since 2017, School of Visual and Performing Arts (registered as Kathy Kroll Dance and Paper Theatre - Legal fictitious name School of Visual and Performing Arts) has been a home for artists, dreamers, and storytellers. What began as a small vision has grown into a thriving community of creativity and inclusion. But as we continue to expand our reach through Rebel Stages, our resident theater company, we find ourselves at a turning point—and we need your help.

Over the past four years, we’ve worked tirelessly to improve our space to better serve our students, artists, and audiences. Yet, there’s so much more we can do. With your support, we can take the next step in transforming our dance studio and black box theater into spaces that truly reflect the passion and dedication of the people who use them every day.

Your contribution will help us:

• Offset costs for programming and shows in our 2025 season, enabling us to bring high-quality productions and educational opportunities to the community.

• Build risers so our audiences can experience performances with better visibility and comfort.

• Finish flooring to provide a safe and professional environment for dancers and performers alike.

• Paint the walls to brighten and revitalize our creative spaces.

• Soundproof our facilities to allow classes and performances to run simultaneously without interruption.

These improvements aren’t just about bricks and mortar—they’re about creating a place where artists of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities can shine. A place where diverse stories are told, where marginalized voices are amplified, and where everyone feels they belong.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that the arts have the power to educate, heal, and unite. For our 2025 season, we envision a bustling black box theater hosting performances that challenge, inspire, and celebrate our shared humanity. From community workshops to innovative productions, your generosity will directly impact the programs and experiences we can offer.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our community to make these dreams a reality. This holiday season, as you reflect on the things that bring you joy and meaning, we ask you to consider making a donation to support our mission. Every dollar makes a difference, and your support means the world to us.

Together, we can create a space where creativity thrives, where voices are heard, and where lives are changed. Thank you for believing in us and for helping us continue to grow.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The School of Visual and Performing Arts & Rebel Stages
