Literally anyone who wants to support the arts!

• We're internationally renowned

• We've been nominated for countless awards

• We were chosen as the first high school to produce both Mean Girls High School Edition and Heathers The Musical High School Edition, each earning critical acclaim at Texas Thespian Festival and International Thespian Festival

• Theater Jones, an online performing arts journal, called us “a musical theatre powerhouse” and said "there are no signs of slowing down"

• Ask any student involved in the theatre program and they'll tell you it's more than performing. Recent Pearce graduate, Jacob Merschel, said, "It's bigger than, like, being on the stage. It's a community. And it's a place to be yourself and grow. And here nurtures that."

Running a successful high school theatre program is extremely expensive. We receive some support from the district but most of the funding comes from raising donations from within the community. Some of the things we have to cover include:

• student scholarships

• show rights

• scenery

• lights & sound

• props

• costumes

• scripts

• show meals

• musicians

• professional workshops

• professional training

• choreographers

• playbill & promotional printing

• award show entry fees

• travel costs

• other production expenses

• 6 theatre class shows

• The UIL One Act competition

• Mustangs On Stage show a developmental needs theatre program (the only program in RISD of its kind)

• Fall main stage production

• Spring main stage production

• Fine Arts main stage production

• Summer Theatre Camp show for students entering 3rd though 9th grade
