Decatur Performs enriches performing arts for Decatur's students
We are small army of volunteers supporting administrative, back of house, and front of house needs for our teachers and students! They are the true heroes of the show!
We ensure (with the help of you, our friends) that we have enough funding for our events to be all they can be.
We help get the word out to fill seats and put energizing smiles on the students faces as they perform.
