A Leading Role

Spotlight on Monthly Giving

Take centre stage… Become a monthly donor!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new monthly giving campaign, "A Leading Role.” Take center stage and become a vital part of sustaining the magic of live theatre in our community. By joining our cast of monthly donors, you play a leading role in making our vision a reality.

Monthly gifts are powerful. They offer reliable, consistent support that helps us plan ahead and grow sustainably. When you become a monthly donor, you’re not just supporting theatre—you’re shaping its future.

Your monthly gift helps us:

  • Keep rental rates low for indie and emerging artists

  • Upgrade and maintain essential technical equipment.

  • Make our space more accessible to artists and audiences.

  • Keep live performance affordable for everyone.

Monthly giving is the foundation upon which we can build a vibrant and thriving arts community. Whether it's hosting new productions, supporting local artists, or maintaining our theatre building, your generosity ensures that the show will always go on.
