PATRON PROGRAM
When you provide a charitable contribution of $3,000 or more towards the productions on our stages, as well as our artistic development and education programs, you are welcomed into our vitally important Patron community. By becoming a Patron, you deepen your commitment to the outstanding theatre and receive exclusive benefits that can be renewed annually including:
The Best Seats in the House
We reserve the best seats in all of our theatres for you, and you can enjoy complete scheduling flexibility and the personalized attention of our dedicated team.
Intimate Access to Leading Theatre Artists
You will be invited to interact with artistic guests at pre-show dinners, receptions, cocktail parties, and other special events. Last season we met with our playwrights, stars, behind the scenes artists, and more. This season we have master puppeteer workshops, talkbacks with our creative stars, and additional events to be announced for you.
A Welcoming Community
You can see friends and meet new people at events we produce throughout the year. You can gather before shows in our exclusive Patron Lounges and enjoy our special Patron dinners and receptions.
