The Cost of Performing Arts

STAND Performing Arts is a 501C3 non-profit ministry established in 2005 by president and founder, Jessie Beebe. STAND exists to empower the next generation to take a STAND to be all they are created to be!

As STAND continues to reach more students and families across the metroplex, the need for more space, teachers, and shows is growing rapidly! In preparation for the 2024 season, STAND is seeking funding for 8 distinct production licenses: four in the spring and four in the fall. This is double what STAND did in the 2023 year! 

You have a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our students by giving them a platform to STAND Up and find their voice, STAND Strong in the love of community and STAND Out with confidence on stage! Please consider giving what you can today and see the significance shine through the smiles of every student next year!
