Support Urbanite Theatre
with a gift to our "Second Act" campaign
Small stages demand extraordinary effort—and Urbanite Theatre thrives on delivering unforgettable, intimate performances that connect artists and audiences in unique ways. As we celebrate entering our 11th season in 2024, we're launching the "Second Act" campaign to raise $500,000 for the 2024/2025 fiscal year.
Why $500,000?
Ticket sales alone can't cover the costs of producing powerful, cutting-edge theater. From renting our performance space and offices to housing artists and supporting production teams, every dollar helps us bring world-class artistry to Sarasota.
Where Your Donation Goes:
🎭 Artistic Talent: Supporting non-union and equity actors, directors, designers, and creative staff.
🏢 Spaces to Create: Covering rent for our theater, office, rehearsal, and warehouse spaces.
🏠 Artist Housing: Providing accommodations for visiting artists.
💼 Administrative Essentials: Keeping our full-time staff and behind-the-scenes operations running smoothly.
Your contribution ensures Urbanite Theatre can continue producing bold, challenging, and community-building theater for years to come. Together, we’ll secure a lasting legacy for live theater in Sarasota.
With your help, we can ensure that our second act is our boldest one yet.
Urbanite Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit , and your tax-deductible support is crucial to our ability to bring quality productions to the area, excite new theatergoers, and employ professional artists from around the country.
