The event is coordinated by Paint with Us, which organizes paint and sip events in Las Cruces, El Paso and throughout southern New Mexico.
Proceeds from the ASTC Sip & Paint will benefit New Mexico State University Theatre Department students by helping to pay for travel and other expenses, provide scholarships and sponsor guest artists such as professional actors, directors, choreographers and costume and set designers to visit NMSU.
ASTC was founded by Tony-winning playwright Mark Medoff in the 1980s.
