THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE
The Black Opal Program is designed to discover and nurture exceptional talent in the area of dance arts for advanced students at the dawn of launching their career. Students from throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia have auditioned and applied for training with Faubourg Theatre. Faubourg Theatre needs your support to channel funds towards their tuition, travel expense, housing expense, competition fees, and performance expense. Advanced students spend on average $35,000 a year on their dance training, performances, and career launch.
Contributors will receive pictures, videos, and regular updates on the development and career progress of the children sponsored. This is a life altering opportunity for young adults and a little help can go a really long way!
