LEADERSHIP SUPPORT

Invest in a more vibrant and just world.

When you give at this level, you join a community of visionary leaders who are shaping the future of The Public Theater and creating a more democratic cultural landscape. You’ll gain intimate access to the works on our stages, and be included in bespoke events throughout the year. As one of our most committed supporters, you are invited to join one of our three leadership councils that offer tailored programming based on your interests.

These are: the Producers Council, for those who want to help advance our mission of inclusivity and diverse artistic expression; the Shakespeare Council, for those who are passionate about our Shakespeare programming; and the Musical Theater Council, for those who are dedicated to the creation of new musicals. Please select the level you would like to contribute and someone from the team will contact you about your leadership council interest.

PRODUCERS COUNCIL BENEFITS


CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL

Leadership Support gifts extend goods and services to donors, and are therefore partially tax deductible.
