With your help, Hartford Stage touches hearts, expands minds, and changes lives. Your gift can bridge the gap between the price of a ticket and the true cost of our award-winning productions and education programs, and is a wonderful way to share the Hartford Stage experience with everyone in your community.

Your gift to the StageBuilders Annual Campaign is an important source of funding for Hartford Stage, a not-for-profit charitable organization. We’ll reward your generosity with donor benefits that can really enhance your theatre experience.

Contact Jeremy Barrows, Associate Director of Development for Individual Giving, at jeremybarrows@hartfordstage.org or (860) 520-7246.
