Donations Support the Following Theatre Programs

Scholarships
A perpetual source of funds because the principal is never spent and the endowment generates earnings year after year. Currently, URI Theatre offers two scholarships: URI Theatre Endowment Scholarship and the Thomas R. Pezzullo Memorial Scholarship. Your gift in this area will not only ensure the future but will influence generations of URI Theatre students to come.

School Matinee Program
The URI Theatre Department is pleased to be the only institution of higher education in Rhode Island to offer special School Matinee performances. Your gift supports tickets and transportation for students enrolled in schools that would not ordinarily be exposed to live theatre. An experience that lives on well after the performance.

Acting Out Theatre Touring Troupe
Comprised of URI Theatre students this troupe tours Rhode Island schools using drama as a tool to examine contemporary social issues for children and youth. This troupe is a win-win for everyone; the schools benefit when a message is delivered by peers and the participating URI students receive an extraordinary education outside of the classroom.

Capital Campaign
Refurbishing the Robert E. Will Theatre, i.e. theatre seats, orchestra pit, isle lighting, lobby. Ever on-going improvement to all URI Theatre spaces, classrooms, and equipment.
