STUDIO 180 THEATRE’S “20 FOR 20” CAMPAIGN!

This season marks Studio 180 Theatre’s 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, we’ve created Canadian productions of bold, provocative plays from the international theatre canon like The Laramie Project, Stuff Happens, The Normal Heart, Clybourne Park and Oslo. We’ve hired hundreds of Canadian artists, developed Canadian stories through our IN DEVELOPMENT program, and delivered hundreds of hours of theatre-based workshops to thousands of high school students across the Greater Toronto Region through our IN CLASS education program.

As we move into our third decade, we need YOUR help.

20 for 20 Campaign

Studio 180 Theatre’s “20 FOR 20” Fundraising Campaign aims to raise $18,000 by December 31st. These funds will enable us to produce two mainstage Canadian premiere productions in our 2023/24 season. Your donation directly supports the livelihood of theatre artists, helps provide arts-education opportunities for students, and enables us to keep producing theatre that provokes, engages and entertains.

So, why “20 for 20?”

If you have seen any of our work and believe in the importance of what we do, please consider donating $20, $200 or any multiple of 20 in honour of our first twenty years.

If you are already a donor, please consider increasing your support by 20% this year.

Donate today and our Board of Directors will match your donation dollar-for-dollar up to $6,000.

Your generous support will help give us the resources we need to step into our next twenty years.

Ticket sales only cover 12% of our operating expenses, so we count on every dollar from individuals like you to fund our programming.
