Support Theatre Washington

DONATE TO THEATRE WASHINGTON

Your donation to Theatre Washington helps support our mission to work in partnership with the Washington, DC region’s dynamic professional theatre community of theatre-makers, institutions, and audiences to strengthen the theatrical workforce, cultivate and invigorate theatre-goers, and celebrate extraordinary theatre on Washington, DC-area stages. We have recently: 

  • We will return with our annual celebration of the Helen Hayes Awards in May 2024, creating time and space for theatre-makers to be in community and celebrate their achievements and each other.
  • Have an ongoing process to have a thoughtful restructuring of our volunteer model by evaluating our Board and committees structures. The goals and expected outcomes are to be more accessible, transparent, and reflective of anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices. This has included onboarding new members of the board of directors by using a matrix and doing annual surveys to all of our committees and event staff annually.
  • Held monthly meetings for the Taking Care Fund so we can distribute quickly and predictably over $68,000 annually in grants to theatre-makers who need emergency funding as a bridge for an unexpected events including medical or loss of income.
  • Supported a united effort with over 35 theatres to provide an engaged and exciting Theatre Week at the start of the Theatre Season and produced a dozen events for discovery and engagement with the vibrant theatre community.
