Membership is critical to the Company—in fact, it is our lifeblood. Ticket sales still cover just 60% of the cost of producing the plays you love at STC. As a non-profit organization, we rely on generous individuals like you and 3,000 other members to fill the gap.

In appreciation, we offer exclusive members-only benefits that give you behind-the-scenes access and enhance your theatre experience in unparalleled ways. Advantages of membership include:

  • Invitations to Meet the Cast receptions, technical rehearsals and other special behind-the-scenes events
  • First-in-line ticket priority
  • Opportunities to attend Opening Night performances and post-performance parties with the cast
  • Special discounts at the Lansburgh Theatre, Sidney Harman Hall and nearby restaurants with the members-only Bard Card
  • Complimentary subscription to Stages, our members-only newsletter

You can become a Shakespeare Star with a tax-deductible gift of just $75. For an enhanced patron-level experience, consider joining the Artistic Circle with a tax-deductible gift of $1,500.

Renew, upgrade or join today. For further information, please call 202.547.1122, option 7.

Thank you for your support!
