Opportunities for Individuals
Friends Circle
Friends Circle members' support enables us to present world-class performances; reach out to the community with powerful education-through-the-arts programs; provide a home to six resident performing arts companies; and bring new works to life. In return, members enjoy email updates with advance notice of upcoming performances and much more.

Designated Gifts
Education Through the Arts
Support the power of the arts in education with dynamic, nationally-recognized programs serving 30,000 students a year from five surrounding counties.
School Shows
Performances for school groups bring the magic of live theater to students. These performances align with and support state mandated curriculum in all core subjects. Specially designed study guides help broaden and deepen the learning experience.
Music For Schools
Instruments are loaned to students so they may learn to play music in school. Priority is given to students who meet low income guidelines.
Artists in the Schools
In a minimum of three classroom visits, students work directly with some of our nation's most accomplished artist-educators in a series of dynamic hands-on workshops.
Master Classes
Intensive courses pair renowned visiting artists with local students for personalized, high-level learning in dance, theater, and music.
Professional Development
Arts integration courses help teachers to use the arts in their classrooms as powerful tools for teaching all subjects.
ArtReach
Free and reduced price tickets to our school shows for students who meet low income guidelines and their teachers
Bus Fund
Grants for student transportation to the theater, because the cost of a school bus often makes it too expensive for schools to attend
