SUPPORT MACBETH & CHEESE

Keep the Curtain Up

We are an all-volunteer community theater in Brandon, Florida. Ticket sales cover only part of what it takes to bring bold, unforgettable storytelling to Tampa Bay. Your donation puts actors on stage, lights in the rafters, and children in the seats.

WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS

Ticket sales alone can't keep live theater alive.

A single production costs thousands before the curtain ever rises — royalties, set materials, costumes, lighting, insurance, and the venue itself. Ticket revenue covers only a fraction. The rest comes from people like you who believe that a small town deserves world-class stories.

Every dollar you give stays local. It buys the paint for the set, the mic on the leading lady, the seat a child sits in for their very first play.

“This little theater changed what my kids think is possible. They walked in as an audience and walked out asking when auditions are. That is worth every dollar.”

— A Brandon Parent & Season Supporter
