Fuel the Performance
Every unforgettable performance begins the same way — with a student who dares to step into the light.
At the University of North Texas, our dance and theatre students work is bold, ambitious and deeply human. Our students are learning in studios and black boxes that mirror the university’s broader goals to develop world class talent.
This spring, we honor that work at the Dance & Theatre End‑of‑Year Gala — an evening celebrating student achievements, original performances, design innovation and the vibrant community that surrounds our program.
But to fully celebrate their UNstoppable creativity, we need the UNT community behind them.
Your gift to the UNT Dance and Theatre Gala Crowdfunding Project will help:
- Fund student recognition awards that celebrate excellence in performance, design, directing, choreography, playwriting and technical theatre.
- Cover production and event costs (lighting, sound, costumes, décor) so students can see their work presented at its highest level.
- Subsidize student and family tickets, ensuring cost is never a barrier to belonging at this celebration
Why Your Support Matters
Student awards are a way to formally recognize those who demonstrate excellence, growth, creativity, leadership or dedication within the dance and theatre program and highlight many dimensions of student achievement. These awards contribute to student success by:
Celebrating Student Accomplishment
They acknowledge the hard work and artistic progress students make throughout the year, reinforcing confidence and validating their commitment to their education.
Enhancing Students’ Professional Futures
Awards become meaningful additions to résumés, grant applications, audition materials and graduate school portfolios — further articulating a student’s strengths in a tangible and recognizable way
UNT has implemented a new gift allocation policy, UNT Policy 09.003 Gift Allocation, designed to maximize the impact of your giving. Please visit our Gift Allocation FAQ page to learn more.
