Help Us Change Lives

Since 1929, the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre has been enriching lives and strengthening the artistic community in Kalamazoo. We proudly offer programming for all ages, abilities, and income levels. Your support helps us provide free audition workshops, academy financial assistance, Youth Theatre, Senior Class Reader’s Theatre, and Penguin Project productions. These impactful programs are made possible through the generosity of our supporters passionate about the Civic.

Why Donate to the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre?

Ticket sales and class tuition only account for 25% of the Civic’s annual revenue. The majority of our funds come from grants, sponsorships, and individual and corporate donors. We are grateful to those who support us each year and help us remain a celebrated community theatre in our region.

Your gift will support the Civic in fulfilling our mission in many ways. Your donation helps us to:

  • Provide high-quality performances that engage patrons and encourage conversations within the community
  • Offer discounted tickets to specific groups like students and seniors
  • Provide our volunteers with everything they’ll need on stage, such as costumes and shoes, and create exceptional sets for each show
  • Offer comprehensive educational programs to individuals of all ages and backgrounds
  • Offer educational outreach programming at no cost to participants
  • Hire talented, professional Guest Teaching Artists for our academy offerings

Because your support allows us to continue our programming, we can impact the community through:

  • Maintaining an extraordinary and vibrant cultural community
  • Serving as an economic catalyst by attracting patrons to downtown Kalamazoo, and in turn, bringing additional patronage to local businesses
  • Promoting tolerance and appreciation of diversity in the community
