Help us fundraise $12,000!
In honor of this year’s adaptation of Twelfth Night, and our 12 performances (with a bonus preview night!), we’re fundraising for $12,000. Our request: Donate $12–or more–and help us recruit a few friends so we can reach 1,000 donors by the end of our Summer Festival run!
Donation Levels
We invite you to choose from our five donation levels:
Prospero’s Circle is comprised of individuals who support Delaware Shakespeare with gifts of $1,000 or more. The Circle is named after one of Shakespeare’s most famous characters, the magician on his magical island in The Tempest. At one point, Prospero draws a circle and steps into it to create some of his greatest magic. Supporters at this level can step into Prospero’s Circle and allow Delaware Shakespeare to create even greater magic.
