At The Theatre Lab, we are deeply committed to cultivating an inclusive environment where the transformative power of high-quality theatre education is accessible to everyone. We understand that many families in our area grapple with financial challenges, which can make it difficult to access quality arts programming. Your donation to Theatre Lab scholarship funds not only empowers individuals, but also strengthens our ability to serve our community.
Send A Kid To Camp!
Every year, The Theatre Lab is flooded with financial aid requests for our summer programs. Many DC area families are facing financial hardships and need help providing their children with an inspiring and educational summer. To ensure we can continue to support our community and give generous scholarships, every dollar you donate to Send a Kid to Camp goes directly to a child.
The Theatre Lab provides disadvantaged children and teens with the opportunity to have an unforgettable summer artistic experience in our award-winning acting camps and musical theatre institutes.

The Dena Kohn Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Dena Kohn Fund, established by the Kohn family and members of the company of The Theatre Lab’s production of Ragtime in memory of student Dena Sara Kohn, provides scholarships each summer to deserving teenagers to participate in The Theatre Lab’s Musical Theatre Institute for Teens. Dena was unconditionally devoted to community service, and her community was the world in which we all live. The Dena Kohn Memorial Scholarship is an opportunity to support local teens in need who, like Dena, demonstrate commitment to the arts and involvement in making the world a better place. Each fall, a mini-golf day is held in Laurel, MD, to raise money for the fund. Contact us for more information if you’d like to take part.
The George Grant Memorial Scholarship Fund
The George Grant Memorial Scholarship Fund, established by alumni from Lawrence University, provides one full scholarship for a teenager to attend The Theatre Lab’s Summer Acting Institute for Teens, where George Grant was a devoted teaching artist. The scholarship is awarded annually to a teen that demonstrates financial need, community service, and a passion for creativity.
The Carla Trice Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Carla Trice Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established by the family of Carla Trice Crawford, a beloved Theatre Lab student (Honors Class of 2018) and friend, whose presence lit up our stage and our community. In keeping with her legacy of generosity toward fellow students and young artists, contributions to the Carla Trice Crawford Fund will support need-based scholarships for young people to attend The Theatre Lab’s acting camps and musical theatre training institutes.
Adult Scholarship Fund
The Theatre Lab offers financial aid to ensure that the benefits of high-quality theatre education are accessible to all. Adults who cannot afford tuition for our classes can apply for need-based assistance, as well as work-study. This program has helped participants in our Life Stories® programs to make the transition to our acting training courses, and has opened doors to the world of the theatre for many students who never would have discovered their talents without a little help. Generous donations from our supporters have made adult scholarships a primary means of integrating The Theatre Lab into our community.
