Did you know that we can use over 80 pairs of shoes
in one production?
What you see onstage is a fusion of many items including
socks, straw, thread, electrical tape and lumber.
These ordinary objects come together with actors,
sound and lights to create the extraordinary work
you see when you come to the theater.
The costs
of world-class theater continue to rise every year...
join Arena Stage as a C.A.S.T. member and help us
combat them.
$50 buys all the
men's socks for one show.
$100 buys enough straw
to make one hat
$1,256 buys enough
electrical tape for one season
$3,000 buys enough
thread for one season
$22,680 is the cost
of lumber for one season
As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Arena
relies on donations to balance the portion of the
budget not covered by ticket sales. Your donation
not only grants you access to the behind-the-scenes
activities but also provides us with the much-needed
funds to make the magic happen onstage.
