Thank You for Supporting the Arts
Thank you so much for your generosity, and for partnering with us in the essential work of the arts.
Thank you also to everyone who anonymously dropped some cash into our donation jar or bucket at our live shows. If we didn’t have your name, it won’t appear here (or your full total doesn’t reflect these extra gifts), but your contributions are just as needed and appreciated. Please let us know if your name is missing or needs to be corrected.
Donors are a valued part of the Open Book family, and your support helps provide professional productions in the Downriver area. Sponsors always have the option to remain anonymous if they choose. Open Book Theatre Company is a 501(c) (3) not for profit. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Want to join our Donors? Learn more here!
Your gifts to Open Book support the work we do, help us increase our impact in the community, as well as meet matching grant requirements. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and well used. Thank you!
