Individuals - Though housed on Tulane’s campus, the Shakespeare Festival at Tulane operates independently and is fully self-supporting. Ticket revenue covers about 40% of the Shakespeare Festival’s cost of producing top quality, professional theatre. May we suggest a tax-deductible contribution in addition to your ticket purchase?  Or consider the benefits of Patron Level Membership:

Your contributions allow the Shakespeare Festival to continue educational and community outreach efforts.  Here are a few examples of how we put your tax-deductible contributions to work:

  • Scholarships for schools, which allow them to send classes full of eager students to our productions for schools or give us the opportunity to take our actors to meet and perform for students in their schools
  • Underwriting the expense of our Half-Price Previews and Pay What You Will Performances, which make professional theatre available to all New OrleaniansGary Rucker & Gavin Mahlie perform at Lusher School with the "Shakespeare on the Road" touring education program
  • Supporting the only professional Shakespearean company in the Gulf South, which employs some 45 theatre artists from the New Orleans area annually
  • Financial assistance for young artists, so they may receive the training they need in order to excel in the world of professional theatre
  • Underwriting the Institute on Teaching Shakespeare, which gives local middle and high school teachers new toolds for teaching Shakespeare in the classrooms
