With funds from the CAC General Operating Support grant, Fuse Theatre will bolster the administrative, marketing, and communications infrastructure necessary for the sustainable operation of our three core programs: Community Connections, Connect and Play, and Ignite Artists. These programs are the backbone of Fuse Theatre’s mission to create meaningful theatre experiences that expand perspectives and foster civic engagement. Supporting this operational capacity through the grant is crucial for planned strategic expansion and fulfilling Fuse Theatre’s commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion for all. It directly contributes to engaging and uplifting historically under-resourced communities and ensuring that Fuse events and programs align with accessibility standards for people with disabilities.
