A Note of Gratitude and a Bigger Ask
If you’ve made it this far, thank you. Really. This community is the heart of everything we do! Whether you donate, buy a ticket, or simply spread the word.
Since today is the Day of Giving, we’re making a slightly bigger ask:
Please consider becoming a sustaining donor.
We’re heading toward a major milestone: Our 30th birthday in 2028.
To get there strong, we’re working toward: $1,000/month in sustaining donations by December 2026.
A few steady givers each month make a huge difference for a small community theatre like ours.
If you can give, please do. If you cannot, please help us spread the word by telling your friends and family about our shows! Any way you can show support makes a world of difference for us.
