 Become a Member Today! The Shakespeare Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and donations
are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the
law.
Ticket sales cover less than half of our production costs .
Therefore, each year, we depend on over $5 million in private contributions
from generous patrons (like you) and corporations to maintain our high quality,
internationally renowned stage productions, fund vital educational programs
and keep our community outreach programs flourishing.
Why does ticket income cover less than half of production costs?
Our epic productions like Othello, Lorenzaccio and Lady
Windermere's Fan require large casts and elaborate sets. Because of
the intimate size of our theatre (only 451 seats) sell-out crowds do not
provide sufficient income to support the cost of these productions. While
raising ticket prices would increase revenue, it belies our commitment to
making our Theatre accessible to new and diverse audiences.
We need your support!
Membership, which begins with a tax-deductible gift of
$150 or more, also helps support our extensive educational programs such as Text
Alive! and ShakesPEERS, which are just two of several programs we provide
to the Washington, Virginia and Maryland community.
Membership also provides you with a unique, up-close-and-personal
artistic experience with behind-the-scenes access and a variety
of additional programs all season-long. Explore this section
to learn more about how to receive invitations to our popular Meet
The Cast receptions and Opening
Night Dinner celebrations with Artistic Director Michael Kahn … and
