Patron Program
Step out of the audience
and into the story.
When you become a Patron, you’re giving a young artist their first chance to shine, you’re making it possible for families to share a night together by the river, and you’re helping us create the kind of experiences that ripple through a community long after the final bow.
Did you know?
We are a registered charity and private donations cover 30% of our operating budget.
That means every laugh, every gasp, and every standing ovation begins with you.

Our Patrons are integral to the Playhouse’s success by making high quality productions, educational opportunities for youth, and accessible community programming possible.
