WAYS TO GIVE

Ticket sales only cover 50% of the cost of producing our shows and we rely on contributions from generous patrons to create our productions and offer every show with pay-what-you-can tickets.

Your contributions help to reduce barriers of access for others and to preserve our dynamic audience experience. Our value of radical inclusivity is critical to help us explore the ways in which theater can unite disparate groups and reveal and invigorate our interconnectedness.

*Oakland Theater Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and contributions are tax deductible. Our federal non-profit EIN number is 46-5365654.
