Giving is Gorges 2015!

Help ensure Ithaca Shakespeare can continue bringing Shakespeare to life through our productions and educational programs!

A fundraising campaign for Ithaca Shakespeare Company Inc
The Ithaca Shakespeare Company has been presenting exciting, high-quality Shakespeare productions in and around Ithaca for more than a decade. In that time, we have grown from a small, informal group to the largest classical theatre program in Central New York. This past year, we embarked on our largest and most complex project so far -- an epic 5-play cycle of Shakespeare's history plays, the original Game of Thrones. We also added a new Shakespeare for Kids Camp to our education program, giving children the chance to immerse themselves in Shakespeare's works and give their own performance on the ISC summer stage.

But we need your help to continue doing all of this! As we continue to grow, adding new programs like the summer camp and constantly working to improve the quality of our performances, it becomes more and more difficult to cover the costs of our programs.

Like most theatre companies, ticket sales cover less than 50% of our expenses -- especially since we make a great effort to keep our shows affordable for all audiences. The other 50%+ must come from grants and donations, but grant support has been steadily declining in recent years. 

Your donations are absolutely essential to bridge this gap. Without the support of individual donors like you, we will simply not be able to continue operating for long! If you think Shakespeare matters -- if you think a great classical theatre program is valuable to our kids and our community -- please make a donation to help keep Shakespeare alive and well in Ithaca.
