Spotlighters is excited to offer a new way for you to support the Exceptional, Diverse, Creative & Bold theatre you love by funding

ONE DAY’S OPERATING EXPENSES

for the theatre!

Every day Spotlighters has routine and boring expenses: rent, utilities, insurance, copy paper, salaries, cleaning services, voice and internet service, and even pest control.  These expenses happen with or without a show on the stage. For the 2023/2024 Season, Spotlighters needs to make $150,000 to pay the bills. After taking out expected income from Ticket Sales and Annual Grants, that is $275 of income per day to keep the doors open.

Spotlighters is asking you to support ONE DAY of the theatre’s operations for just $275.

We encourage those who are able, to fund more than one day, even a week.

For $1,375, you get to select 5 days – one work week!

For $825 you fund a three-day weekend.

Some of you already donate more than $275 a year, and we deeply appreciate your generosity! We also know that some of our patrons and partners are not able to donate at the $275 level ... so, we’re asking that you join with friends and family to give a combined gift that meet the $275 level.

You can give the $275 up front or set up a monthly Sustaining Gift of $23 either from your credit or debit card for an annual gift of $276.

Use the donation to celebrate and recognize a special day - an anniversary, a birthday, a graduation, or create a family/friends day.

All Donors will be recognized with their name or the name of their group on a SPOTS-365 Calendar in the Theatre Lobby.  

Visit www.spotlighters.org/partners  to make that donation, or set up your monthly sustaining gift.

Help Spotlighters continue to produce outstanding theatre for Baltimore and the surrounding communities.  

Join SPOTS-365 today! Thank you.

If you are already a monthly donor, keep and eye on your email for information on claiming your DAY of Funding on the Spotlighters Calendar. And if you wish to increase your monthly or annual gift, please Email: [email protected] and include SPOTS-365 in the subject line! THANKS!
