This is a donation based program: That means, the Peñasco Theater Collective feels that access to quality arts programs should not be limited by the ability to pay with money. We value all the other ways that people can contribute to help keep our programs going; we accept payments in; wood, produce, snacks, volunteer time and labor, and anything else you want to offer!

 

If you can pay cash we are asking for a $100 donation per participant  for the week.
