Invest in a more vibrant and just world.
When you give at this level, you join a community of visionary leaders who are shaping the future of The Public Theater and creating a more democratic cultural landscape. You’ll gain intimate access to the works on our stages, and be included in bespoke events throughout the year. As one of our most committed supporters, you are invited to join one of our three leadership councils that offer tailored programming based on your interests.
These are: the Producers Council, for those who want to help advance our mission of inclusivity and diverse artistic expression; the Shakespeare Council, for those who are passionate about our Shakespeare programming; and the Musical Theater Council, for those who are dedicated to the creation of new musicals. Please select the level you would like to contribute and someone from the team will contact you about your leadership council interest.
Leadership Support gifts extend goods and services to donors, and are therefore partially tax deductible.
Contact the Partners Desk at 212.539.8734 or [email protected] to learn more.
Please note that Partners who choose to decline benefits still have access to reserved seating for FREE SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK
