The Patron Program

Gifts at every level support Playwrights Horizons’ mission to foster and produce the work of new American playwrights and musical theater artists.  Scroll down for donor benefits at the FRIENDS and DONORS levels.

Donate $1,500 or more and join a group of dedicated donors in the Patron Program.  As a member of the Patron Program you’ll have the opportunity to see your gift at work in rehearsals, at a private play reading, an opening night or at an intimate dinner party with the playwright and the director.  Members have as much access as possible to the artists, as well as the staff and board members who support the work at Playwrights Horizons. 

Membership includes a subscription for two to all six Mainstage and Sharp Theater productions and a host of other benefits. 

Please take a moment to review the complete list of benefits listed below, and then become a Patron today!  For additional information, please contact Adam Turner, Manager of Individual Giving, at (212) 564-1235, ext. 3145 or by email at ATurner@playwrightshorizons.org
