Why Contribute?

At its heart, theatre is a collaboration. From actors to the crew and designers to the playwright and composer to the director, dozens of people give their time and effort generously to create an outstanding production.

Another very important collaborator is you. Each and every donation we receive from our patrons is a critical part of our creative capacity.

Both individual and business/corporate donations are welcome.
