Thrift for Ukraine

Saturday, May 11-Sunday, May 12 | 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
Warch 324 – Somerset Room

LUCC will be hosting a fundraiser for the non-profit organization Wisconsin Ukrainians. All of the funds collected will go to Wisconsin Ukrainians, and all monetary contributions to the organization will be used to buy necessary medical supplies for Ukrainian defenders and citizens near the front lines.

This fundraiser will be a “pop-up” thrift store, offering clothing, books, accessories, dorm decor, art, and more for students to buy at student-friendly prices. The goal of the event is first and foremost to share the beauty of Ukrainian culture and geography, raise awareness about Ukraine’s struggle in the Russia-Ukraine war, and allow students the opportunity to engage in a philanthropic effort for a present-day conflict.

Stansbury Theatre

  • Director: Mauriah Donegan Kraker
  • Stage Manager: David Ciotti Hernandez


THE SHOW IS OVER is a devised work created in collaboration with student composers, musicians, actors, and dancers. Over the course of the evening, tap dance boards become set pieces, pop and punk sounds instigate obsessively danced phrases, real and virtual worlds collide. A murky manifesto for disorientating patterns of physicality and language.
