How to Donate Cinnabar Theater is a professional non-profit 501(c)(3) regional theater with a contract with Equity serving an annual audience of over 15,000, and more than 1,200 students attending performances and our class programs each year.
Roughly half of our total annual budget is earned through ticket sales and our Special Events. Each year, Cinnabar Theater must raise the balance from individuals, corporate sponsorships, foundations and government agencies in order to maintain our programs.
Our donor community performs an integral role in fulfilling Cinnabar Theater’s mission and we are grateful for your support.
