We’d love to invite you to become part of Milan Theatre Company’s First Act Society—a special group of people and businesses who believed in us during our very first year.

Every gift made in 2026 helps us build something lasting: a place for creativity, connection, storytelling, and live theatre to grow right here in our community. All financial gifts and sponsorships made throughout the year count toward First Act Society membership—even those given before the Society was announced.

Your giving is cumulative through December 31, 2026, and every gift brings you closer to the next recognition level. When our inaugural year comes to a close, membership in the First Act Society will close with it—but your place in our story will remain indefinitely.
