You can help us build community through theatre.
We believe theatre can offer unique perspectives that help our communities explore important social and political issues. We also believe that experiencing different points of view leads to stronger, more connected communities.
If you share these beliefs, we invite you to make a donation to Studio 180 Theatre today. Your one-time or monthly gift enables us to continue producing thought-provoking plays, facilitate important community discussions through our Beyond the Stage program, develop new plays through Studio 180 IN DEVELOPMENT and help students develop empathy and practice critical thinking through Studio 180 IN CLASS.
When you donate, you become part of our donor family and get the inside track on our creative and organizational growth. You’ll also be invited to special events like the first day of rehearsal and our closing night parties. Keep reading below to learn more about the benefits of being a Studio 180 donor.

Ticket sales only cover 12% of our operating expenses, so we count on every dollar from individuals like you to fund our programming. Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:
- $50 enables artists to create by buying rehearsal space for a half day
- $100 hires an actor for a Studio 180 IN DEVELOPMENT workshop
- $300 teaches a class of high school students empathy by covering the costs of a Studio 180 IN CLASS workshop
