The Wirtz Centers are where bold ideas become performances, and where the artists shaping the future of theatre begin their journey. Your support makes that journey possible.

Through your generosity, students gain access to professional-caliber stages, rigorous training, mentorship from world-class faculty and guest artists, and the freedom to create work that reflects and challenges the world we live in. At the same time, your support ensures that audiences of all ages can experience innovative, entertaining, and thought-provoking performances across our Evanston and Chicago campuses.

Every gift helps sustain the Wirtz Centers as engines of learning, laboratories for innovation, and stages for tomorrow’s storytellers…today.

Your contribution directly supports:

* Student artists learning by doing on professional stages

* New and experimental work, from reimagined classics to newly        commissioned pieces

* Community engagement initiatives, introducing theatre to young audiences and lifelong learners

* Accessible, public-facing performances that invite curiosity, dialogue, and connection

Together, these efforts ensure that theatre at Northwestern is not only something to be watched, but something to be experienced, questioned, and shared.
