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 2023, creating time and space for theatre-makers to be in community and celebrate their achievements and each other.
  • Engaged AROW (Abolishing Racism and Oppression in the Workplace), a program of Young Playwrights’ Theater, to lead over 35 partner theatres in a Community of Practice, examining how to establish antiracist and anti-oppressive values and put those values to practice in their work in the arts and our community.
  • 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. 
  • Hosted and facilitated the annual Theatre Summit to create and foster conversation, dialogue, and shared understanding between theatre-makers and theatre institutions. 
  • Raised over $1,000,000 for the Taking Care Fund, distributing over 1,000 grants to theatre-makers who need emergency funding as a bridge for an unexpected event including medical or loss of income. 
  • Supported a united effort with over 30 theatres to provide the highest level of public safety for audiences, artists, staff, and volunteers as we return to live performance.
