Thank you for joining us AS A PARTNER IN ART

Annual Fund Giving

Your support makes professional theatre possible in Northwest Arkansas. Donors help us create world-class productions for our stage, commission new American plays, keep tickets accessible to families throughout our community, and reach tens of thousands of students and teachers through T2's education programs.

The generous donors who give each year to TheatreSquared play an invaluable role in raising the quality of life in our region.  We are sincerely grateful for your generosity.

More than 60% of TheatreSquared's $6.5MM annual budget is funded through charitable contributions. 

TheatreSquared is one of only two professional theatres offering a year-round season in the state, and 70,000 community members each year enjoy T2’s remarkable live performances, educational programs, and community events, including 20,000 students and teachers who experience touring performances at 70+ schools in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Your gift to TheatreSquared, a non-profit corporation, is tax deductible to the fullest amount allowable. For more information, call 479-445-6333.
