In the heart of our community, Evolution Theatre Company has always been more than just a theatre for more than 12 years. Its been a sanctuary where stories unfold, voices are heard, and lives are transformed. Since our founding, we've dedicated ourselves to shining a light on the diverse and vibrant narratives of the LGBTQ+ community, celebrating love, identity, and the power of authenticity. But today, we face significant challenges. Due to the current political climate, we highly anticipate funding changes in the coming days that will threaten our ability to bring these vital stories to life . This will negatively affect our productions and the very foundation of our mission to foster understanding and inclusivity through the performing arts.

Now, more than ever, we need your support to survive.

Your generous donation can make an immediate and profound impact:

  • Keep the Curtain Rising: Help us continue producing groundbreaking performances that give voice to LGBTQ+ experiences and perspectives.
  • Empower Marginalized Voices: Provide opportunities for LGBTQ+ actors, directors, and playwrights to share their talents and stories.
  • Build Community Connections: Support our outreach programs that educate, inspire, and bring people together in solidarity and celebration.
  • Nurture the Next Generation: Fund workshops and mentorships for young LGBTQ+ individuals aspiring to find their place in the arts.

Every contribution, no matter the size, is a step towards ensuring that our theatre remains a beacon of hope, acceptance, and artistic excellence in our community. Your support sends a powerful message that these stories matter, and that representation and visibility are essential in creating a more compassionate world.

Imagine the impact you can have. Your donation could be the reason a young person sees themselves reflected on stage for the first time, feeling less alone and more empowered. It could spark conversations that challenge prejudices and foster deeper understanding within our community.

We refuse to let financial obstacles dim the lights on our stage or silence the voices that need to be heard. But we can't do it alone. Will you stand with us during this critical time?

By donating today, you become an integral part of our story, a story of resilience, unity, and the unwavering belief in the transformative power of the arts.

 

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for believing in a future where every story has a place, and every voice is heard.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Mark Phillips Schwamberger
