MUSIC THEATER WORKS has been in the community, has been your community, for forty years.
Your gifts do go to the things you can see- the big, lush shows, that fantastic orchestra, the lights, the sets, the costumes.
But that’s not all.
Your generosity supports a whole community—not just the actors you see on stage, not just the musicians you see in the pit. Not just the young people in our YouthREACH programs, and not just our loyal subscribers.
Because there’s lots of the community you don’t see:
- our dedicated crew, designers, and directors, who are backstage making it happen, because your gift supported the whole show, not just what you see on stage
- the kid next to you in the theater, because your gift supported a free TicketREACH seat
- the parents of those amazing kids on stage, because your gift supported a YouthREACH scholarship
- the interns who started their careers in the back office and back stage, because your gift supported our paid internships
- Community Partners like Skokie Public Library, Niles District 119, Thresholds Rehab, the Village of Skokie, Evanston Mayor’s Youth Jobs Fair, and more, because your gift supported our community engagement programs
And we see the impact you have on our community, our theater, our Music Theater Works family.
We hope you see it, too. MAKE YOUR DONATION TODAY
