Fund Bearden Theatre's State Championship Journey to SETC!

About Our Campaign

We won!! Bearden Theatre won first place in October at the Tennessee Theatre Association One Act Competition. We are thrilled to have the incredible opportunity to travel to Baltimore, Maryland, this March to represent the great state of Tennessee at the Southeastern Theatre Conference. This prestigious event is a chance to showcase our talents, connect with industry professionals, and further our education and experience in the performing arts. However, participation comes with significant costs for travel, accommodations, and registration. To make this trip a reality, we are organizing fundraising efforts to help offset expenses and ensure that every student can attend without financial barriers. Your support is vital in helping us achieve this dream and represent the state of Tennessee with pride on this regional stage!

We are thrilled to announce that our fall one-act submission, La Dispute by Pierre de Marivaux, adapted by Timberlake Wertenbaker, earned first place at the Tennessee Theatre Association Secondary One-Act Competition! Congratulations to our entire cast and crew for their extraordinary dedication, creativity, and talent.

We are honored to represent the state of Tennessee at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Baltimore, MD, from March 19th-23rd, 2025. Stay tuned for a Knoxville performance date in March before our trip!
