Individual Giving

There are many ways to give to TheatreWorks

We invite you to choose the way that is most meaningful for you.
Whether you would like to donate cash or stock, honor a loved one,
or host a reception in your home, we appreciate your generosity.

Give in Honor: Make a Tribute Gift

Just as TheatreWorks celebrates the human spirit, a gift to TheatreWorks in honor or memory of a loved one is a wonderful way to celebrate the achievements of someone special. When you honor a deceased loved one, friend, or colleague with a tribute gift, TheatreWorks will send you a tax-deductible gift receipt and send a card to the bereaved family.
