THE MALONE FUND FOR EXCELLENCE IN TECHNICAL THEATRE
The Classic Theatre is honored to partner with Diane Malone and her family to create The Malone Fund for Excellence in Technical Theatre.
“To honor Rick’s fifty plus years in technical theater, the last fourteen of which have been with the Classic, it’s only fitting that his legacy is to promote the theatrical design arts through a fund to support emerging theatrical designers, students of technical theater, and state of the art equipment for the next generation of designers and technicians at the Classic Theatre of San Antonio.” – Diane Malone, Classic Theatre Co-Founder
Thank you for remembering “Papa Rick,” a good friend and great San Antonio artist, by contributing to “The Malone Fund,” and for helping us to guarantee technical excellence at the theatre the Malones have been so instrumental in creating.
