Bughouse Theater

Good news!

Bughouse Theater is the recipient of a grant that will help us undergo updates in late September/early October. This includes improvements to our tech booth, back office, green room, and that wall next to the stage. (You know the one.)

How Your Donation Helps

While the theater is receiving a grant to help with construction, we need to cover a portion of those costs out of pocket. Since construction will disrupt the normal full schedule of rehearsals and shows, the theater will lose a portion of our monthly income. However, we still plan to cover the stipend of our House Managers during this time.

Your donation will ensure that the theater can not only cover the difference in costs of construction, but will make it possible to cover our lost revenue and pay our House Managers while the theater is under construction.

Bughouse's Continuing Mission

Bughouse Theater is devoted to fostering appreciation of the arts, the artistic growth of our members, and facilitating collaboration of diverse artists across all media and disciplines.

We are…

A collection of artists, actors, writers, and filmmakers creating a new venue for themselves and their city.

A dedication to the enrichment of the community through art and the enrichment of art through the community.

A belief in the strength of ensembles and the principles of an artist-owned venue.

BUGHOUSE THEATER RENTELETHON

TUNE IN
Sunday, January 30th
6pm CST
Live on Bughouse Theater Twitch

For almost a decade, Bughouse Theater has been serving the community as a space for performers to do what inspires them. We are a non-profit organization devoted to fostering an appreciation of the arts, the artistic growth of our members, and facilitating the collaboration of diverse artists across all media and disciplines. We’ve brought the arts to schools and community organizations. We have created a place where a blend of artists, performers, and comedians can call home.

 

 

Bughouse Theater has struggled over the course of the pandemic. We only just reopened our doors in the summer of 2021 with a limited run of shows. As the rates of cases have risen, we've had to make sacrifices and work even harder to provide a safe space for performers, but those challenges make it a struggle to make ends meet.

 

 

We're asking for your support now in anticipation of the Bughouse Rentelethon on January 30th. This Twitch-streamed event will showcase performances from the comedic talent supported by our theater. Prior to and during this extravaganza, our goal is to raise $5,000. With your donations, we can continue forging ahead in our artistic mission while taking care of the theater's basic needs.
