Fuel the Arts
Keep What's Next coming.
When you support Theatre Project, you're investing directly in the artists creating the future of live performance.
The 60% Model
Sixty cents of every dollar goes directly to the artists on our stage, and support staff that make it all happen. The remaining forty cents powers our historic venue, keeping the lights on and the doors open for whoever's next.
60%
The average theater dedicates less than 20% of its budget directly to artist compensation. We flip the model, because the artists are what matters.
