We’d like to say a special thank you

We gratefully acknowledge the 500+ donors whose generous contributions each year make it possible for WaterTower Theatre to present more than 125 performances annually.

While space limitations prevent us from publicly listing donors who contribute below the $250 level, please know that we deeply and sincerely appreciate every gift, no matter the amount. Because ticket sales cover only a portion of our operating expenses, the support of patrons, corporations, foundations, and other friends is vital to our ability to produce quality professional theatre for our community.

If you would like to join this extraordinary group of supporters, please visit www.watertowertheatre.org/donations, or contact Brian Gonzales at 972-450-6275 or by email at bgonzales@watertowertheatre.org.
