Adopt-a-Garden Fundraiser
Our patio and gardens provide the backdrop for wonderful shows, concerts, and events! Maintaining the beauty of these gardens requires dedicated resources and ongoing support. By adopting a garden section on our riverfront performance patio, you can contribute directly to the enhancement of this extraordinary space and the programs that make it an artistic hub each summer.
Here are some ways your support will make a difference:
1. Enhancing Beauty: Your generous donation will not only help us maintain the existing garden beds but also allow us to introduce new plants, flowers, and greenery that will captivate and inspire our community and audiences for years to come.
2. Environmental Sustainability: Our commitment to ecological responsibility is reflected in our approach to gardening. By adopting a garden, you will be supporting sustainable practices, including native plantings and pollinator-friendly flowers, contributing to the health and preservation of our ecosystem.
3. Supporting Live Music and Theater: We are dedicated to showcasing live theater and music on our beautiful performance patio and your donation will help us bring some of the best musicians and artists to our community!

The CTC is a 501(c)3 non-profit, so every donation is tax-deductible.
Because affordability is so important to us, ticket sales only make up 37% of our budget. Donations are vital to our continued success.

We believe that theater has the power to provoke change, enrich lives, and build a community.​​

Please consider supporting us and the Wakefield community by making a donation today.
The CTC is a small, local, non-profit theater that believes in opportunities for everyone. We keep our ticket prices and class fees low, but we still believe that paying artists is important for our work, for our artists, and for our community.
Donations help us fulfill our promises to our audiences and artists while growing each and every year.
​
Donations ensure that we can pay the staff necessary to provide the wide array of programs that we do. We have more performances per year than any other theater company in Rhode Island. We have shows every weekend of the year, and feature everything from scripted shows to family shows to our Wakefield Idol singing competition to free Shakespeare on the patio!
We want to be a place where everyone in the community can feel welcome. All of this is a huge undertaking for a small staff of four full-time employees.
Your donations help us be able to focus on making our work the best it can be and creating a space for everyone at the CTC.
