Your support matters now more than ever.

As we begin to reopen our spaces, our Donors will be able to enjoy newly updated benefits including access to exclusive online events, complimentary tickets, restaurant discounts and much more. View the full Donor Benefits.

Most importantly, every Donor—whether a Friend, Sustainer, or Patron level—takes a crucial part in securing the financial and artistic vitality of Shakespeare Theatre Company into the future.

[accordion-item title=”Health and Safety”]

As of September 10, 2021 proof of vaccination is mandatory for all donor events with no exceptions.

STC will require that all patrons provide proof of vaccination to attend any performances or events. In addition to audiences, STC has mandated COVID vaccinations for all performers and theatre staff. Please visit our Health and Safety page for full guidelines about providing proof of vaccination at the theatre.

Only performers and people invited onstage for talkbacks will be unmasked. We ask that attendees remain masked while within our venues, including during performances, unless they are eating and drinking in designated lobby areas. STC is committed to the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our spaces, and we are monitoring the ongoing COVID pandemic and will make adjustments as needed. Thank you for your understanding.
