After ten years of serving thousands of young people through the performing arts, Shine will be closing its doors following our final productions this summer.

This decision was not made lightly. Over the past several months, we have worked to reduce expenses, stabilize operations, and explore every possible path forward. Despite significant cost reductions and difficult staffing decisions, our financial challenges have made it impossible to sustain the organization long-term.

Now, our focus is on finishing well.

Where Your Gift Goes

Your donation will directly support:

Staff salaries and payroll obligations
Production expenses for Musical Madness and Disney's Frozen
Outstanding financial obligations that allow Shine to close responsibly and honorably

Every gift helps us care for the people who have poured themselves into this organization and ensures that our students can experience a joyful, meaningful final season.

Why This Matters

For ten years, Shine has been a place where students were known, valued, encouraged, and transformed through the performing arts.

This community has given young people confidence, friendship, belonging, creativity, and a place to grow into who they are meant to be.

As we approach the end of this chapter, we want to honor that legacy with integrity, compassion, and care for the students, families, artists, and staff who made Shine what it is.

A Final Opportunity to Stand with Shine

If Shine has impacted your family in any way, we ask you to stand with us one more time.

Your gift helps ensure that Shine’s final chapter is marked not by crisis, but by celebration, gratitude, and care for the community that built it.

Thank you for helping us finish strong.
