SUPPORT
Your support for our Production Fund provides the fuel for great theatre. Ticket sales cover less than half of our expenses. In order to keep ticket prices affordable, Donors like you help fill the gap.
Your support sustains over 140 live performances annually, develops new plays like the world premieres of Lisa B. Thompson's Monroe and R. Eric Thomas' Nightbird, provides meaningful employment to local professional theatre artists, and brings FREE live theatre programming to over 3,000 low-income students, many of whom are experiencing the magic of theatre for the first time.
We can't do it without you. Production Fund donations of $50 or more will be acknowledged in production playbills for one calendar year.
More Ways to Support Austin Playhouse
-
Appreciated Shares: If you hold appreciated publicly traded securities, consider gifting the shares directly to Austin Playhouse instead of selling them and donating the proceeds. If held for more than a year, this strategy helps you avoid capital gains taxes while providing a charitable deduction for their fair market value.
-
Retirement Account Withdrawals: Donating directly from your tax-deferred retirement accounts can maximize your impact. By contributing from these accounts, you avoid the taxes typically incurred on withdrawals, and reduce your adjusted gross income (AGI).
-
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD): Those aged 72 and older are required to take annual distributions from your IRA. By donating all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) to Austin Playhouse, you lower your AGI, potentially reducing your tax bill while supporting the arts!
