Friends of the Theatre
The Friends of the Theatre is a membership group that supports the theatre productions at Pepperdine University. Friends of the Theatre members are an enthusiastic group who care deeply about providing crucial opportunities for academic and personal development for our theatre students.
Support of the Friends of the Theatre gives Pepperdine students opportunities to participate in hands-on master classes with industry professionals and scholarships for production design students. Funding also helps continue our popular Edinburgh summer program, which challenges students to experience firsthand the impact of live theatre on a community.
Your donation helps us continue to create new and exciting ways to enhance the educational experience for Pepperdine students.
In addition to the joy of supporting the arts, members enjoy a variety of unique benefits. From free parking to special backstage tours, membership makes it more rewarding to experience theatre at Pepperdine.
