Dear Upper Room Theatre Family,
As we prepare to dim the lights on another unforgettable year, I want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your unwavering support. Your generosity and commitment have been instrumental in keeping the magic alive at Upper Room Theatre Ministry, especially in recent times.
That’s why I’m reaching out, with a special opportunity for you, our loyal audience, and an important request…
You see, every breathtaking performance, every joyous laugh shared, and every life-changing mission trip is possible because of you.
2024 Mission Trip
Behind the scenes, your support amplifies our reach. It allows us to stage moving, professional theatre experiences (like next year’s highly anticipated “ogre-sized” Broadway hit Shrek the Musical), while also funding local and international service missions. These missions provide powerful, lasting experiences for our young participants, spreading hope and love to those they serve.
Thanks to our summer musical proceeds – and generous supporters like YOU – we create and lead over 293 activities annually. In fact, funds raised this year enable more than 130 fifth through twelfth graders to participate in 2025 high school mission trips and local middle school service mission weeks.
In 2025, we also must make an essential (and costly) investment in replacing our critical sound board to keep enriching every magical moment you experience in our Performing Arts Center.
With your support, we can continue to deliver crystal-clear sound that elevates every song, every story, and every stirring note. This new audio equipment won’t just transform our theater performances — it will also amplify the reach of every other program we host, inspiring countless lives in our community.
But we need YOUR help to continue this important impact so we can keep creating powerful stories like these.
We Have Some Very Special Benefits For You When You Do!
Which is why today we are inviting you to join our 2024 “Friends of Upper Room” campaign!
(Or, if you’ve already supported us, to consider increasing your impact on our upcoming season.)
Fact is, your support is vital to keeping our future bright for the countless lives we touch annually. This year’s campaign will not only support our work with teens and young adults but will also help fund our much-needed sound board replacement.
And We Have New 2025 Experiences and Opportunities For You...
When you donate today, we have special “thank you” gifts for you, ranging from tickets to performances…to all NEW Upper Room Theatre collector’s items…to VIP behind-the-scenes experiences!
