A neat aspect of the production is that annually the school partners with a fitting charity in a unique way.
In 2017 when the school produced The Aristocats, funds raised were donated to Greenwich Animal Control.
In 2018, when they performed Seussical, the school held a Dr. Seuss book drive, and books were sent directly to an elementary school in Puerto Rico that was devastated by Hurricane Maria.
This year funds were raised through the school store, and over $800 will be donated to an organization called Roots of Music, a non profit in New Orleans that operates an after-school program providing academic tutoring and music mentoring for at-risk middle school students ages 9–14.
