Donor Opportunities

The generosity of our donors enables us to provide the very best educational experience for our talented students and delivers innovative, professional-quality cinematic and theatrical entertainment to our audiences.

For more information about the various programs you can support, please see the links below or contact the College of Fine Arts Development Office at (520) 621-9057 or connect@cfa.arizona.edu. Thank you for your support!

Support Theatre

Marroney Theatre Renovation Fund

Built in 1956, the Marroney Theatre has served as the principle teaching laboratory for the School for over 60 years. This fund will let us bring the Marroney Theatre into the 21st century, with improved audience amenities and expanded lobby space, state of the art stage lighting, a refreshed auditorium, and a usable orchestra pit to improve the quality of our musicals.

Theatre Fund for Excellence Endowment

This endowment provides important funds to help achieve a higher degree of excellence for students, just as the non-endowed Theatre Fund for Excellence listed above. It supports new program initiatives and enhancements for existing programs, development and training in new technologies, guest artists, student and faculty travel to national conferences, and faculty travel for research and recruitment. However, this endowed fund has restricted use throughout each year in order for it to be allowed to grow in perpetuity like other endowments.

Theatre Arts Fund for Excellence

These important funds enable the School of Theatre, Film & Television to achieve a higher degree of excellence for its students through supporting programs such as faculty travel for research and recruitment, guest artists, faculty and student travel to national conferences, and development and training in new technologies, as well as new program initiatives and enhancements for existing programs. The Theatre Fund for Excellence (non-endowment) provides the same things as the endowment (listed above), only the School Director has access to the funds as needed.

Showcase of Talent Endowed Fund

The annual Showcase of Talent provides senior Acting and Musical Theatre majors an opportunity to audition for, and interview with, industry professionals (agents, directors, managers, producers and others) from around the country. Design & Technology industry leaders also review portfolios of undergraduate and graduate Dramaturgy and Design & Technology majors.

Support Film & Television

Fund for Emerging Filmmakers

This fund is used to help underwrite the production costs of our senior BFA Film & Television students, whose thesis films are showcased each year at I DREAM IN WIDESCREEN. It also helps cover film festival entry fees and student and/or newly graduated alumni travel to and from film festivals that feature their work.

Endowment for Emerging Filmmakers

This endowment supports filmmaking students in the School of Theatre Film and Television. Specifically, it helps filmmaking students defray the production costs of creating Senior BFA films and to assists them in paying for Entry Fees for regional and national Film Festivals. Distributions for the benefit of, and awards to, students will occur in accordance with University of Arizona policies and procedures. Any interested individual, corporation or foundation may make additional gifts to the Fund at any time. As an endowed fund, this has restricted use throughout each year in order for it to grow in perpetuity.

Film & Television Fund for Excellence

This fund enables the Film & Television program to achieve a higher degree of excellence for its students through supporting programs such as faculty travel for research and recruitment, guest artists, faculty and student travel to national conferences, and development and training in new technologies, as well as new program initiatives and enhancements for existing programs.

Film & Television Internship Endowment

The Film & Television Internship Endowment supports the travel and living expenses incurred by students in the Film & Television Internship program, which creates a critical bridge for students as they transition from the UA to the professional film and television industry.

In a recent story for The Theatre Times, "From the Fishbowl" director Wolfe Bowart and lighting designer Forrest Tallbull reflected on the journeys that brought them to this theatrical moment, the process of devising physical theatre in a digital space, and what new value “a world interrupted” has brought to their theatre-making.

"From the Fishbowl" also served as Lighting Designer Forrest Tallbull's MFA Senior Capstone Project in Lighting Design. "From the Fishbowl features vignettes that combine our digital culture with the stage," Forrest said in the article. "The stories are about shared messages of emotional humanity that show our true selves—selves we evade in the digital world. When I arrived, there was no script or outline. Wolfe [Bowart, director] wanted to hear ideas from the entire creative team, including the actors, designers, and even the stage managers. Wolfe said, “if you had a minute onstage to talk to the world—what would you say?” That was the starting point of the creative process. Designers not only contributed to the design elements of the spectacle; we were invited to tap into the emotional creation of the stories."

Watch the magical result online now. From the Fishbowl streams online April 1 - 18, 2021. Watch any time, from anywhere. Tickets are $11 per device. Read more at:

TONIGHT :: In "From the Fishbowl," MJ Barbee plays a contestant in a raucous game show where panelists goad him into being the personality they want him to be.

From the Fishbowl began with a question and a challenge. Director Wolfe Bowart asked 7 cast members – all students at the School of Theatre, Film & Television – what story would they tell if they had a minute to say something to the world right now. And could they tell their story using visual theatre? With the help of sound effects, movement, illusion, shadow puppetry, film interaction, comedy - and an occasional call from mom - discover some serious subject matters told with heart and humor.

Join us as we stream the PREMIERE SCREENING followed by ARTIST TALKBACK tonight, April 1, 2021, at 6pm MST.

FROM THE FISHBOWL, a co-presentation of the School of Theatre, Film & Television and The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre, streams online April 1 - 18, 2021. Watch any time, from anywhere. Tickets are $11 per device. Tickets available at bit.ly/tftv_ftfb.
