The Director’s Society of Writers Theatre is a group of dedicated patrons who share our passion for the written word. They provide the financial foundation that allows us to create a nurturing artistic home for world-class artists while producing nationally acclaimed productions. Writers Theatre extends privileges of membership to individuals who provide an annual gift of $1,000 or more. Director’s Society members enjoy opportunities to share in the creative process through exclusive events that provide unique access to the artistic process. We are proud to acknowledge our Director’s Society members for gifts received in the period between May 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023.
