We invite you to become a Patron of the Douglas Morrisson Theatre. Our theatre strives to bring quality theatre to our community at affordable prices. The revenue we receive from ticket sales covers only a portion of the cost to operate the theatre and mount our productions. If the total production cost were reflected in the ticket prices, our theatre would soon become too expensive for many people to attend.

Your donation to the Douglas Morrisson Theatre not only helps to keep live theatre in your community, but it also gives you a great tax deduction. Donations to the Douglas Morrisson Theatre are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

As a patron of the Morrisson Theatre, your name or the name of your business will appear in our show programs for one full year.

Our Patron categories are as follows:

 Producer - $2,500 or more; great for a business or organization
 Angels - $500 or more
 Superstars - $100 to $499
 Stars - $50 to $99
 Supporting Players - $25 to $49

You can also provide for the Douglas Morrisson Theatre in your estate planning. Just give us a call at (510) 881-6777 and we'll be happy to discuss the options and benefits with you.

Each year we host a Donor Recognition Event to recognize and thank our patrons and donors. This year the event was held on Sunday, January 27, 2008, and was attended by over a hundred guests who got a behind-the-scenes peek at what's involved in producing one of our shows—in this case, My Way, a Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra. They were also treated to refreshments and had a chance to meet the staff and ask questions about our theatre.
