Our annual appeal for support of our AMAZING upcoming 42^nd Season is also an appeal for an extra exciting, extra urgent need—an appeal to support Raven Theatre replacing its HVAC system. As any theater-maker knows, you just gotta pivot, roll with it, and while you’re at it: make it fun. This year, not only are we doubling our fundraising goal, but we are doubling the fun by introducing Raven Theatre’s newest summer fundraiser: KEEP RAVEN COOL😎.

This upcoming season gives us and our community a chance to exercise our values of supporting new voices, new lenses, and enhancing the experience of our audiences through plays that help us connect to one another. It’s that connection, we believe, that creates community. Raven is so lucky to have our Johnson Stage to produce mainstage productions, and have our young campers write, stage, and produce their summer camp productions, and host events from fellow theatremakers and community members all throughout the year. After 20 years of constant activity, our HVAC is finally due for a much-needed upgrade.  

If you are able, please show your support for Raven Theatre this season and consider KEEP RAVEN COOL 😎 with a one-time, recurring, or increased donation to help us reach our goal.  

But you won’t walk away empty-handed. Check out the COOL gifts you can get by supporting Raven’s next chapter.
