March 20-27, 2026

Youtheatre Giving Week 2026

For the third year in a row, our community is coming together to protect the creative home where thousands of young people find confidence, courage, and their voice.

Our goal is $10,000 to support the mission of Youtheatre: to educate, engage, and entertain regional youth and families through theatre arts.

When you give, you’re not just supporting a program. You’re ensuring that every child who wants to participate has the chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

Giving Week is your moment to make an impact. Help us reach our goal and keep Youtheatre accessible, inspiring, and transformative for the kids who need it most.

Make magic happen today.

Your one-time gift brings stories to life right now–helping us open the curtain, inspire young artists, and share the power of theatre with our community.
