At The Company OnStage, the lights don’t shine because of big budgets or corporate backers… they shine because of you.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re proud to launch our end-of-year campaign: Spotlight on Giving, a celebration of the generosity that keeps our theater open, accessible, and thriving.
Since 1978, our mission has remained unwavering: make the arts accessible and affordable for everyone in our community. For nearly five decades, we’ve welcomed families, children, students, and neighbors into our theater, offering live experiences that spark imagination, inspire creativity, and bring our community closer together.
But here’s the reality behind the curtain:
Even if every seat were filled for every show, ticket sales would still not fully cover what it takes to operate our theater. As a 100% volunteer-driven organization, we stretch every dollar as far as it can go, and we rely on the support of our community to keep the stage lights glowing.
That’s why your gift matters so deeply.
Your Support Makes a World of Difference
When you donate to The Company OnStage, you’re not just supporting a theater. You’re investing in the cultural heartbeat of our community.
Here’s what your generosity makes possible:
⭐ Affordable Tickets for All
We believe everyone should have the chance to experience live theater, regardless of income. Your support helps us keep ticket prices accessible for families and individuals across Houston.
⭐ Library Day Performances
For each Young Audience production, we offer a free Library Day performance. These shows ensure that children and families who may not have the means to purchase tickets can still discover the joy of storytelling brought to life onstage.
⭐ A Community-Driven Stage
As a fully volunteer-powered organization, we are truly “community theater” in every sense. Your donations empower volunteers (actors, designers, directors, crew, front of house staff, and more) to bring heartfelt, high-quality performances to the stage.
⭐ A Future Where the Arts Remain a Shared Treasure
Theater should never be a luxury. Your gift protects and preserves the magic of live performance for the next generation.
💛 Be the Light That Keeps the Curtain Rising
As we approach the end of the year, we’re asking our community to help us raise the funds needed to sustain our mission in 2025. Whether you give $10, $120, or more, your contribution directly supports live, accessible theater in Southwest Houston.
You can even become a Sustainer with a monthly donation of $10 or more, helping create a reliable foundation for our work all year long.
Every dollar keeps our story going.
Every donation helps ensure that the arts remain for everyone.
Every act of generosity moves our mission forward.
