Support the Dave Bean Memorial Fund
Dave Bean, our late Technical Director, had dedicated much of his time with us to supporting our students. In memory of his dedication, we are establishing the Dave Bean Memorial Fund. The fund will be used to support Hunter students on an annual basis enabling them to pursue their theatre studies at Hunter with greater ease and focus. Your donations will directly impact the lives of these students, ensuring that Dave's legacy of kindness and support continues to thrive.
