We are hosting Rise Up Theatre Company for their show Tick Tick… Boom! Should you wish to make a donation to Rise Up Theater Company please visit their site:

We know everyone wants a little help and it can add up over time. Theater venues like The Ooley relies solely on patrons like you who are able and willing to donate for funds that don't get made in ticket sales. We have a great year of shows and performances ahead and your donation means everything to keep us going!

If you gave a simple one time donation of $60, which is just $5 a month for the 2025 season, it would be tremendous.

$60 one time donation for the 2025 year which will get you a free water and concession every show you attend and if you make your donation before March 1st, you will be put on the list of attendees for our Opening Night Gala for our Women's Wit & Wisdom Theater Festival!

OR

$5/month - our free water and concessions (one per person who donates)

$10/month - Free Water and concessions (one per person who donates) and one free ticket

$20/month - Same as the $10 a month with one additional free ticket, so that's 2 free tickets for the year

*Please Note: The Ooley is a Non-Profit Venue EIN #92 - 3390549

If you are able to share even just a little, that is one step closer for us to make The Ooley Theatre go from a cute space to a state of the art venue. We thank you for your donation and look forward to seeing you at a show!

If you want to know where we need the most help here is a list of things we are doing at the theater that can use support:

Music Stands = $60 new, or happy to take used ones!

Piano Tuning = Not sure of the cost of this but I understand it can be $500 or more depending

Replace 3 of our light fixtures that have gone out ($1500 each for LED)

Fix the large crack in our walkway inside the main theater ($800 labor)

Window Frames to hang out show posters to advertise our shows (hung in our windows) = $100 each (need 4)

New Patio furniture covers = $75

We always appreciate monies donated for a show in any amount!

Monies donated to our general overhead are always appreciated too! :)

Our biggest two are paying off our new doors: $11k and our AC/Heat installation loan $28k

We thank you for your support!
