Dear Editor:
Civic Theatre has been on a steady path of artistic, financial, and institutional growth over the last several years. Each season is comprised of accomplishments, surprises, disappointments, and celebrations. It is because of the lessons learned from these moments that the organization has been able to evolve, securing its future in central Indiana.
As I reflect on the overwhelming transformation Civic Theatre has made during its 10-year tenure at the Center for the Performing Arts, I am struck by the generosity of our Civic Family members and your commitment to Civic’s success. As a community theatre, Civic exists for and because of its community. For over 100 years, people like you have been the backbone of this organization, and we could not do it without you. Thank you.
As Civic continues to grow and evolve, our community of advocates is more important than ever before. Please consider contributing to Civic Theatre this holiday season to invest in the artistic landscape of central Indiana and support your local community of artists, students, and volunteers. A tax-deductible gift at any level goes a long way toward ensuring Civic’s future.
To put it in perspective, here is what a contribution at any level can accomplish:
- $10 Send a preschool student to a matinee
- $20 Provide a script to a mainstage actor
- $50 Sponsor a class instructor
- $100 Light a scene in a mainstage production
- $250 Costume a mainstage actor
- $500 Provide inclusive services for a show
- $1,000 Sponsor an orchestra member
- $2,500 Sponsor the conductor of a musical
- $5,000 Sponsor a director for a mainstage show
Please visit CivicTheatre.org/support to contribute today. On behalf of the staff, board, students, alumni, artists, and volunteers, thank you for your support of Civic Theatre. We can’t do it without you!
With thanks and very best regards,
Michael J. Lasley
