Help Yellow Tree Theatre Bridge $27k Gap

Dear friends,

We wanted to share important news that affects theatres across our entire state: most small theatres, including Yellow Tree, have just received notice of a sudden and significant reduction in their annual public funding. Some theatres, including ours, are seeing a 30% plus decrease.

This isn’t a reflection of any one organization’s work; it’s a widespread funding shift that has taken many of us by surprise.

For Yellow Tree Theatre, this means a loss of over $27,000 in operating support compared to last year. For a small theatre like ours, that amount has a very real impact on our ability to maintain staff, support artists, and keep ticket prices affordable.

We know this news may feel heavy. We understand how much our community has already given and shared in recent months—and we are deeply grateful for your ongoing support and encouragement.

Yet this unexpected funding gap means we need to ask once again: can you help us keep the lights on and the stories alive?

Your gift will directly support:

Fair compensation for our artists and staff

Accessible ticket pricing for all audiences

The bold, intimate theatre experiences Yellow Tree is known for

We remain optimistic because of the strength of our community. Together, we can navigate this challenge and keep Yellow Tree thriving as a home for diverse, vital stories.

With deep gratitude-
