Support History Theatre

Make a gift. Make history.

At History Theatre we’re expanding the stories we tell. With new Artistic Director Richard Thompson joining Managing Director Karen Mueller at the helm, we hope to increase our impact on our community of patrons and artists by ensuring that our entire community knows History Theatre is a space to see themselves reflected in the art on the stage.  You can see this in our current season where we celebrate the joy, resilience, and triumph of people and our shared experience. Our 2023-24 season is full of new plays and musicals created by a diverse group of playwrights through a unique new play development process that provides the opportunity to tell stories of real people.

With your support, History Theatre can continue to provide life-changing and enriching theatrical experiences for adults and students alike.

Your tax-deductible donation will ensure we are able to continue to commission exciting new work from artists whose voices deserve to be heard, and whose work will help us continue to learn about our collective past. Your contributions help us to grow and think critically about our future and allow us to increase access and expand the reach of our arts education programming. A gift today ensures that History Theatre thrives for years to come.
