We are MU Players, a student-led theatre group at Manhattan University, based in The Bronx, NY. We are dedicated to fostering enthusiasm for theatre for everyone on Manhattan University’s campus, as well as supporting academic and intellectual growth through the various facets of theatre production. Every year, we put on two mainstage productions, an entirely student-run production, a one acts festival, cabarets, and more! As the only theatre group on our campus, we have the honor of being an outlet for students to express themselves – their emotions, their talents, their truths — in multiple different aspects of theatrical productions; whether it be through acting, set design, dramaturgy, directing, or costuming.

Just like any other performing arts group, we’ve had our share of hardships and difficulties in the past, but MU Players is still a place wherein many students find the opportunity to form friendships, create space for artistic expression, and even develop the skills to begin professional careers in the arts.

To keep MU Players a reality, however, we are asking for your help.

Due to financial constraints, our budget has been cut almost completely. This makes it nearly impossible to put on our typical season.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help fund our various productions and cover costs of set construction, props, costumes, scripts and royalties, sound, and lighting. Any and all help is deeply appreciated.

To quote a recent production, 9 to 5: The Musical, “[If] something in your life isn't sitting right, then fix it,” and we hope that with your help, we can do just that.

Best,

The Board
