"Survive & Thrive”: The Campaign for our 30th Season

This year, we’ve titled our individual giving campaign “Survive & Thrive.” We need your help in a big way to raise $330,000 in operating support by the end of June 2012!

Lets face it…..times have been tough lately.

Over the last 4 years, Theatre in the Square has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from former supporting businesses that have gone under or have been forced to give less. In recession, the arts are the first to suffer. As a result, we’ve had to cut our budget back by 23% in the last four years, losing our cutting-edge Alley Stage Series.

Now, with more competition for even smaller amounts of money from these corporations (and foundations too!), your help will make up the difference between merely “surviving” and “thriving” for the next 30 years to come.

Double your gift to make an impact: Have a friend match your gift!

Last year, we raised over $160,000 from individuals like you! But we need so much more to cover our lost income from the business sector. Please consider doubling your gift this year or encouraging a friend to match your gift.
