PATRON LEVELS
Ready to become a CCS Patron?
Patrons make our productions possible. Your gift directly funds the breadth of what it takes to bring each show to life, and in return you’ll get a closer connection to the work, from your name in the program to Opening Night seats, celebrations and behind-the-scenes access.
Choose the show you’d like to support and a giving level from $500 to $10,000. Interested in supporting more than one production? Yes, please!
To count toward your 2026 taxes, please pay by December 15, 2026.
