The Annual Appeal
As a nonprofit arts organization and important cultural and educational resource in the region, The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey relies on outside support to produce dynamic programming on our stages and in our classrooms. The Annual Appeal is our most important fundraiser of the year. Ticket sales cover only about half of what it costs to bring you our world-class theatrical productions and engaging education programs. Grants, sponsorships, and special events make up part of that difference, but the most vital portion comes from donations of any and all sizes from YOU, our patrons, friends, and fans.
Why is Your Gift Important?
"...good friends are behind all good stories.
And good stories make for good live."
-The Book of Will
Dear Friends,
For many years you've received one of these Appeal letters each autumn from our former Artistic Director, Bonnie J. Monte. She has passed the baton on to me now, and it feels only apt to kick off with a quote from the beautiful production of The Book of Will that Bonnie just directed for us...
