Support Avant Bard’s 35th With $35

This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you for a $35 gift to support Avant Bard Theatre’s 35th season! Join us to celebrate our 35th season of pushing boundaries, interrogating classical works, and creating thought-provoking theatre that speaks to today’s world.

For over three decades, Avant Bard has reimagined timeless classics, from Shakespeare to August Wilson, and showcased innovative new plays that interrogate classical themes. Our commitment to artistic excellence, collaboration, and education has made Avant Bard a company with staying power in the Washington, D.C. arts community.

We’re so excited for the productions we’re bringing to life this season—like our Scripts in Play festival and our upcoming productions of The Margriad and Hamlet—but we can’t do it without you. Your gift today ensures that Avant Bard can continue to bring thought-provoking, relevant theatre to the region, offering fresh perspectives on timeless themes.
Your Gift:

• • Supports innovative productions like The Margriad, a reimagined epic that explores power and tragedy through the lens of Shakespeare’s Queen Margaret.
  • Funds our new Behind the Bard project, bringing the rehearsal room into are classrooms to unlock Shakespeare for middle and high school students.
  • Makes theatre accessible by offering pay-what-you-can previews and matinees, complimentary tickets to students, and reduced-price tickets for their families.

  Please consider a donation today to help us continue this vital work. No contribution is too small—each gift makes a difference. And regardless of whether you’re able to give today, we hope you’ll consider joining us for an upcoming performance to experience the magic of Avant Bard firsthand.

  Together, we can ensure that Avant Bard’s next 35 years of bold, thought-provoking theatre are just as impactful as the first.

  Thank you for your ongoing support!

  Warmly,

  Sara Barker

  P.S. Your donation today is an investment in the future of theatre. Please give what you can—$35, $35 recurring monthly, less than $35, or more than $35—and be part of our exciting next chapter!
