Pride month is in full swing — and so is PrideGiving.

Running through June 30, we're asking our community to help Celebration Theatre raise $10,000 in 14 days. It's the close of our fiscal year, the heart of Pride season, and the launchpad for one of our most ambitious seasons yet. Since 1982, this company has been a home for LGBTQ+ stories in Southern California. We've shown up through every era — and this one is no different. As queer artists and organizations face defunding, silencing, and erasure, we are committed to staying bold. To staying loud. To keep creating with excellence and care.

But we can't do it without you. Here's what your gift helps fund:

A 3-show mainstage season, including a spring musical
Trans Lineage Playwrights Lab, now entering its fifth year
A World Premiere play in development essential to the LGBTQ+ canon
4-6 special engagements with community partners like LA LGBT Center and One Institute
Monthly programs for company artists that sharpen artistry and foster belonging
LGBTQ+ creative workers and artists working for narrative and social change

Every dollar goes directly to our General Fund — straight to the art, the artists, and the infrastructure that makes it all possible.

With gratitude and Pride,

Christopher Maikish
Executive Director

P.S. Every size gift matters. Whether it's $10 or $1,000 — you are the reason we can keep telling our stories.
