Time for those year-end contributions!

Looking for a good place to make a tax-deductible contribution by December 31st? We have a great cause for you: LMC at Ellington. Our students are the future leaders of the 21st century's "Creative Economy" — the journalists, filmmakers, songwriters, novelists, and Mark Zuckerbergs of tomorrow (move over, Facebook!).

We are working to raise $30,000 by the end of 2010 and you can help. Need more convincing? Watch this.

Please give now — and happy holidays!

LMC premieres new documentary on December 10

Come join us on Friday, December 10th for LMC Night at Dreamgirls, as we premiere our new documentary "Making the Dream", which chronicles the behind-the-scenes story of Duke Ellington's all-school collaborative production of "Dreamgirls". The event, which begins at 6:30 p.m., includes a performance by the R Street Collective, our acclaimed spoken word ensemble.

Please support the work of our remarkable students and faculty with a tax-deductible contribution! With a 98% graduation rate, our school has proven that intensive arts education can make the difference between success and failure. Your support is critical.

You can also purchase tickets for the December 10th performance of "Dreamgirls", which begins at 7:30 p.m. If you are not able to join us that night, please purchase tickets for another "Dreamgirls" performance between Dec. 2 and 18 — you will not want to miss this incredible show!
