Join our
Giving Guild
The Giving Guild is a community of people who believe live theatre matters—and who want to help Lexington Live continue creating it.
Your generosity does more than support a production. It helps us build, create, rehearse, perform, and bring people together throughout the year. As a member of the Giving Guild, you’re part of the community that makes Lexington Live possible.
In return, we invite Guild members to experience Lexington Live in special ways throughout the season, with exclusive events, behind-the-scenes opportunities, and meaningful moments to connect with the people who make our theatre come to life.
Give generously. Stay connected. Be part of the Guild.

The Cost of Making Theatre
Your recurring and annual gifts aren't just helping us put on a show — they're helping us maintain a home for the work between shows. We run lean. Our artists and community do a tremendous amount with very little and many volunteer hours. But we still have real costs - especially the space required to rehearse and perform!

• Rights & Royalties • Printing • Programs • Marketing • Ticketing • Insurance • Other Production Costs
$10,000: SPACE TO CREATE
