$25,000 would provide 2 years of support for this innovative and important work to write, perform, travel, and pursue external funding from major national foundations. Most of the funds are directly invested into JMU Arts & STEM students and their training. • Personnel include payment to all students involved in the production of “Mathy Night Live,” the Math Connections Theater performance. This includes Maddy Night Live students, actors, designers, and production personnel as well as payment to Wilson Hall for the professional personnel needed to run a production at this high-tech theater (roughly $1,000 per performance). $10,500 is an estimate for personnel for two shows at ~$5,250/show (~$4,250 to students and $1,000 to Wilson Hall each performance). • Second City Chicago offers Online Sketch Comedy Writing Classes at $345/student. We envision teams of three students at a time taking these, so expenses of 3 x $345 = $1,035. With 4 such cohorts, that cost would come in at $4,140 (listed at $4,250 in case of cost increases). See, e.g., https://www.secondcity.com/classes/chicago/online-classes/writing-1-online-vir • Travel includes costs associated to take Mathy Night Live on the road to other universities and K-12 schools. • Stage supplies include microphone rentals, costumes, scenery and props, publicity, and all the nuts and bolts involved with live theater. • Other includes costs related to the education/assessment aspect of the proposal (including documenting our impact with expertise from the Math Education & the Statistics Communities), publishing rights, additional script or personnel expenses, etc. This also covers food for the Green Room on show night and snack food for some other longer rehearsals/brainstorming sessions. With partial funding of $10,000 we can pay personnel for to write new material in FA26 and perform two shows at JMU in SP27 and encore performance in FA27. With partial funding of $16,000, we can pay personnel for the two shows mentioned above and travel to two different universities (VT/GMU/VCU) or high schools and pay show staff. We would pursue cost sharing with destination schools to cover costs associated with
