Donations and Memberships

The Curtain Players donor program is an annual fund campaign that combines the membership drive and gift program into one effort. At the beginning of each new season, Curtain Players asks support for the organization's general operations and a designated project Curtain Players will complete with those dollars. This campaign continues throughout the season.

Founded in 1963, Curtain Players is a nonprofit community theatre company recognized for directing, acting, and technical excellence by the American Association of Community Theatre, Ohio Community Theatre Association, and Central Ohio Theatre Roundtable. By donating $20 or more to our annual fund, you will automatically become a member of Curtain Players! Benefits include recognition for the gift, mailings announcing individual productions and playhouse happenings, and other gestures of appreciation per each season's campaign.

For nearly 50 years, Curtain Players – a non-profit 501(c)3 organization – has grown and flourished because of the generosity of loyal donors in the central Ohio community. Although Curtain's "community in theatre" is possible because of generous contributions through such programs as ticket revenue, advertising sales, and grants, it takes additional money to keep the playhouse comfortable and safe for those who use it, to meet generating operating expenses, and to advance our mission. Please consider making a special donation to Curtain Players.

As a thank you, donors are granted membership status with Curtain Players, among other benefits. The minimum gift for recognition and benefits is $20 (although any gift is welcomed and appreciated). The giving categories are listed below.
