Support Civic Theatre

Why Donate?

When you contribute to Civic Theatre, you are providing the essential support necessary for Civic to provide 50,000 opportunities on the stage, in the classroom, behind the scenes and in the audience to community members every year.

While crucial, ticket sales and class tuition only cover half of our annual operating expenses. We rely on the generosity of our dedicated audience - individuals like you - to bridge this financial gap. Every contribution, no matter the size helps us bring the magic of theatre to life for all to enjoy.

Support Civic's Education Scholarship Fund!

At Civic Theatre, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the transformative power of the arts. The Civic Education Scholarship Fund ensures that children from low-income families can participate in our Jr. Civic and YAP classes and camps, regardless of their financial situation.

Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch are eligible to receive financial assistance from this fund, allowing them to participate in our programs at no cost. By contributing to the Civic Education Scholarship Fund, you are not only helping to cover the costs of classes and camps but also investing in the potential of underserved children who might not have the opportunity to explore their talents and passions.

For more information on how to support this vital initiative or to inquire about scholarship opportunities, please contact Holly Stults at holly@civictheatre.org. Together, we can make a difference.
