Rubber City Theatre offers the best in professional theatre, as well as innovative educational programs. However, ticket sales only cover about 35% of the total cost of presenting these programs and productions.

Donations make it possible for us to fulfill our mission of bringing affordable, professional theatre to the Akron area, as well as paying our actors, designers, and stage managers for their work.

Support at any level helps contribute to the ongoing success of Rubber City Theatre’s programs.

Here are some ways your sponsorship will help create great theatre:

$100 pays for the scripts for a show
$250 covers playbills for a show
$500 pays for costuming for a show
$750 pays for the set materials for the season
$1000 pays stage managers for the season

Rubber City Theatre is a 501(c)3 nonprofit (registered as Rubber City Shakespeare Company) and your donation of any amount is tax-deductible.

Please help us continue providing impactful theatrical experiences for all.

Thank you!

Production Support selects a particular play from the Rubber City Theatre season and contribute to that show’s production budget. As important members of the show’s family, supporters are invited to select rehearsals, opening night performances, and cast parties. If you’re enthusiastic about a particular play in the season, this is your opportunity to become an integral part of the production and to see your gift come alive on the RCT stage!

Rubber City Theatre's Youth and Teen programs are a cornerstone of our organization. We believe that all students should be able to receive arts education/enrichment without putting financial strain on your family. We provide Pay-What-You-Can options for all families involved in our youth program. Teen shows are fee free for participation, but tickets only cover a small part of the expenses. Give a gift that will help an young star achieve their dream.
