Make Magic Possible
Sponsor an artist or a club and watch the impact multiply as they return home to create.
More Ways In
Spin the globe and explore artist stories on DAT's Story Map. Find and (re)connect with artists through the Alumni Directory. Sponsor an Artist to build community-rooted work abroad — then watch the impact multiply as those artists return home to inspire others, create new work, and ignite change in their own communities.
Host DAT on your campus. Build a credit-bearing study abroad that lets students devise, teach, produce, and perform theatre that tackles real-world issues. Or launch a CSR initiative or 'Adventure Day' of creativity, cross-cultural exchange, and youth mentorship.
Start a club or explore the Drama Clubs and communities we already serve. Mentor young artists. Sponsor a Club with space, materials, and workshops so youth in under-resourced communities can develop their voices and share their stories.
Join our circle of supporters and changemakers. Volunteer behind the scenes. Friend-raise and advocate for DAT as an Ambassador in your city. Every gift — of time, funds, or passion — helps spark transformation, one story at a time.
