SUPPORT LOCAL THEATER

You Make the Curtain Rise

Ticket sales alone don't cover the cost of bringing live theater to Festival Hall. Every set built, every costume sewn, every show staged is made possible by donors like you, neighbors who believe local theater is worth investing in.

WHERE YOUR GIFT GOES

Ticket Sales Don't Cover the Full Cost of a Show

Our cast, crew, and creative team are volunteers: actors, directors, designers, and board members who donate their time because they believe in what we do. But even with that generosity, every production comes with real costs: venue rental, royalties and performance rights, set construction, costumes and props, lighting and sound technicians, and publicity.

If ticket prices alone had to cover these costs, many in our community couldn't afford to attend. Donor support is what keeps live theater accessible, and what allows us to keep improving the experience for every audience, from new lighting and seating to this year's focus: a major upgrade to our sound system, which will let us take on bigger, more ambitious productions.
