Friends of Theatre Food Pantry
The food pantry was made possible by the Friends of Theatre, a volunteer group committed to promoting, encouraging, and enhancing activities and programs of the MSU Department of Theatre. The organization provided the financial resources necessary to establish and stock the pantry.

“Theatre students rely on their bodies as their primary instruments. Their schedules demand long hours in classes, rehearsals, shops, and studios, often stretching late into the evening and weekends. By providing consistent, reliable access to nutritious food, they can thrive in this rigorous environment.”
~ Kirk A. Domer, Professor and Interim Chairperson of the Department of Theatre
“Classes run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then they roll right into rehearsals starting at 6 p.m., leaving little opportunity to go home and make food. Our students can’t perform at their best if they are hungry. This pantry will give them the nourishment they need for those long days.”
~ Kath Clark, Department of Theatre Office Assistant
The Friends of Theatre Food Pantry reflects MSU’s broader mission to support student wellbeing and address food insecurity on campus. Within the Department of Theatre, it also reaffirms our belief that artistry thrives when students are healthy, supported, and cared for. With the help of our alumni, donors, and partners, we can continue to nourish the next generation of theatre makers in mind, body, and spirit.
