Welcome to Stories of Transformation
We hope you will recognize your own journey over the coming weeks, as we share real stories of transformation within our Live Arts community. Let’s start with the story of how Ckalib Nelson fell in love.
"This is why I love Live Arts"
Ckalib is a shy, data-driven guy who found his “home away from home” as an audience member. He helped his best friend run lines and then saw him perform in RAGTIME. This stirred something in Ckalib. "Live Arts is a majestic experience. This is what change looks like. This is how stories ought to be told. This is why I love Live Arts."
Ckalib says that without Live Arts, something inside him is missing. He can’t bear to miss an opening night and even buys a second subscription to bring someone new to every show.

Your contribution funds our mission
As a Board member, Ckalib learned first-hand that running Live Arts isn’t cheap. Royalties alone approach $20,000 a year. In fact, it takes $1 million a year to run our nonprofit theater. Ticket sales and tuition cover less than half. The rest comes from theater lovers like you.
So far, we’ve raised $175,000 of the $500,000 it takes to fully fund our mission. Ckalib invites you to help close that gap by making a year-end contribution.
