You have played an important role in our audience. We now invite you to join the Theatre Jacksonville donor family that brings theatre to life on the First Coast.
Your commitment to our success -- as both a theatre-goer and financial supporter -- is essential. As a community-supported, non-profit theatre, Theatre Jacksonville relies on donations from individuals, foundations and corporate partners to sustain the quality of its artistic work and the effectiveness of its education and community programs. Ticket purchases cover just half of what is needed to meet the theatre's annual operating budget. We hope you'll continue to share our vision that theatre is a community partnership and an invaluable resource for adults and youth alike.
