Individual Support
Thank you for your interest in Live Arts and in advancing our mission of forging theater and community. Since Live Arts’ founding in 1990, we have provided a vital center for people of all ages in our community to become involved in the performing arts on both sides of the curtain.
Private gifts provide for one-half of Live Arts’ annual operating budget. Your generosity provides the means by which we create beautifully-crafted productions, keep ticket prices affordable, offer stimulating education programs, and cover basic operational costs. Donations to the annual, program, and planned giving funds enable us to accomplish all that we do.
Become a member, or renew your membership, with a contribution of $30 or more. Questions? Please contact Executive Director Matt Joslyn at 977-4177 x102 or matt@livearts.org. For a multi-year pledge form, Click Here.

- Plans that pay the donor an income. The donor makes a gift to Live Arts and receives income for his/her life or for the lives of the beneficiaries he/she chooses. (Charitable Gift Annuities).
- Plans that help the theater now and the donor later. Live Arts uses the income from a gift you make for a specified period of time, and then returns the remainder to you or your heirs. (Charitable Lead Trusts).
