Non-Profit


“NON-PROFIT”
"Non-Profit" is an adult, comedic, fictional look into who should get your money (I'm sorry, funding) when you donate: the living or the dying? Join the creative staff of the St. Raphael Parish Arts and Humanities Council, Arts Councils from around the state, Medical Non-Profits, and The Louisiana Tourism Industry, on a weekend symposium. Enjoy the extreme competitiveness and backbiting, while contemplating who should win or lose your tax dollars, donations from the wealthy, monetary gifts from corporations, and large, grant giving foundations. “Non-Profit” humorously asks the question, “Should I nobly give my money to comfort the sick, help the inflicted, and save lives, or would I honestly rather put on a good musical?”
