Second Act
Small stages demand extraordinary effort—and Urbanite Theatre thrives on delivering unforgettable, intimate performances that connect artists and audiences in unique ways. As we celebrate entering our 12th season in 2025/2026, we are continuing our "Second Act" campaign to raise $550,000 for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. This isn't an arbitrary number; it's the vital funding we need to continue bringing you our hallmark, daring, cutting-edge productions. With your help, we can ensure that our second act is our boldest one yet.
Urbanite Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit , and your tax-deductible support is crucial to our ability to bring quality productions to the area, excite new theatergoers, and employ professional artists from around the country.
