Producing theatre costs money. According to the NEA, only 30% of a new theatre’s revenue comes from ticket sales.

With your support we can bring vital and challenging works of art to life in Chicago-and beyond.

Donations will be utilized immediately to help incubate works of emerging talent and place these artists on the road to commercial success.

All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law and come with great perks. See below for benefit bundles for each donation level, including ticket packages, invitations to special events, and recognition on the website and in our programs.
