Support e.T.c.
Bay Area e.T.c. is a non-profit organization which relies
on donations to help defray the costs of
putting on our quality productions. Donations are tax
deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Since its inception, Bay Area e.T.c. has made every
effort to return revenue dollars into productions,
creating first-rate successful shows. The impact of the
theatrical experience on our children is immeasurable and
the response from the community continues to be
supportive and encouraging.
On a shoestring budget, the company has survived working
out of living rooms, backyards, garages, donated
office space and parking lots to conduct business, build
sets and store records and materials. Recently
e.T.c. secured a lease for commercial office and
warehouse space on the Peninsula. While this space helps
us tremendously by improving our production and
administrative efficiency, it is a large budgetary
expense.
Listed below are several ways in which you can help
support e.T.c.

contribution:
e.T.c. provides free theater tickets to troubled youths

quality theatrical production. We gave away over 2,000

Sisters and Casa House. e.T.c. supports itself
largely by ticket sales, we need your help to defray the
costs of this enriching program.
