membership information.

The Stage Door Club is a group of philanthropists who demonstrate their support of live theatre with a generous contribution, each year, to the Theatre Department of the University of Missouri-Columbia. Funds generated through membership in the Stage Door Club are used to further MU's Theatre Department tradition of scholastic excellence and artistic achievement during the Academic and Summer Repertory Theatre seasons. These funds provide support for guest artists, sets, lighting, and costumes. Thanks partly to the Stage Door Club, MU has the most extensive production schedule in the Big 12.
