Support The Arts Club Theatre Company

What if You Saw Only Half a Play?

Or sat in half a seat or heard only one side of a dialogue?

As a patron of the Arts Club Theatre Company, you understand and appreciate our commitment to staging the very best theatre possible. You see this commitment every time you sit in your seat in the historic Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage to enjoy a musical like Cabaret or a new Canadian work like Mom’s the Word 2: Unhinged in the Granville Island Stage. 

But did you know that the price of your ticket only covers approximately half of the total cost to operate the Arts Club?

This is why the Arts Club, as a not-for-profit registered charity, must raise money to support the work we produce on our stages and the community outreach programs that encourage our youth to attend live theatre as part of their education. Each year over 14,000 students from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland attend Arts Club productions as a stimulating and thought-provoking addition to their studies. A new initiative, the Understudy Program, will allow at-risk youth to experience live theatre – many for the first time – thanks to your extra gift.

Your support of the Arts Club is critical to our current and future success, and this is why we ask you to consider Becoming a Friend or Join the Artistic Director’s Circle (ADC). Your annual, tax-deductible contribution of $75, $100, $500 or more will help ensure our ability to excite, engage, and stimulate our audiences now and in the future. For your convenience, your Friends or ADC contribution
may be made in installments.
