Civic Ensemble's Capacity Building Campaign

Theatre is Everyone's Birthright.

A fundraising campaign for Civic Ensemble
Civic Ensemble programs and productions have reached thousands of participants, artists, and audience members in Tompkins County and beyond since the company was founded three and half years ago. There's a lot we can say about the impact Civic is having in our community, but we thought we'd share what others are saying about working with us and seeing our work...

Participant in the ReEntry Theatre Program:

The reentry program has changed the way I think and it has made me want to get more out of life. The program has given me strength to overcome my obstacles of being a felon. Thanks to the reentry program I have more faith in myself and I was able to use the things I learned to get a job. I am very grateful that I was introduced to this program.

Audience Member for 2015 Community-Based Play On the Corner:

One of the most moving productions I've seen since moving back to Ithaca. We are truly blessed to have Civic Ensemble here with us.

Participant in a Civic Ensemble Workshop:

I feel more confident in joining my voice with the voices of others. I am proud of our creative, courageous community.

When you support Civic Ensemble you support theatre programming that reaches people in our community who do not traditionally get to participate in theatre. Whether that's a local actor who hasn't had the opportunity to perform, a playwright whose work has yet to be championed, or a cashier at the local grocery who's never done a play before. When we say Theatre is Everyone's Birthright, we mean that the arts are for everyone and should be an integral part of all of our lives. When we include everyone in the arts we make discoveries about ourselves and our world we would not have made otherwise.

Now is the perfect time to show your support for Civic Ensemble's work.

There are many non-profits doing great work in Tompkins County. We at Civic Ensemble would be honored to get your donation this year.

Thank you,
Civic Ensemble Team
