Support Catalyst Collaborative@MIT
Catalyst Collaborative@MIT, a collaboration between Central Square Theater and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the nation’s only on-going partnership between a professional theater company and a world-class research institution. Each season, CST produces at least one play that opens the door between art and science and pushes us to expand our vision of the future, framed by real-time encounters with scientists who are changing our world.
Your contribution today supports science plays onstage and conversations with the innovative scientists of our times.

Hold Fast. Hold Light. Hold Hope.
We're in turbulent times. Emotions are high. Financial futures uncertain. Our mission and values are under attack. Yet when we gather in the darkness of our theater—to wrestle with questions, challenge assumptions and experience joy—a path forward illuminates.
One thing we know: Right now the work is more vital than ever. You remind us every time you step through our doors — Art is our Activism and your support is a revolutionary act of resistance.
Your gift today will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000, doubling your impact.
With your support, you keep the work of Central Square Theater alive, not just resilient but triumphant.
