Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum has served our community for 52 years with the highest quality of live theatre and theatre education in the region. We are supported by individuals, local businesses and corporations who help sustain us through sponsorships, monthly donations and grants.
2025 Matching Challenge
Match your gift!
The Herron Christensen Family Trust has generously provided a $100,000 grant and issued a 1:2 matching challenge to encourage further support. This emergency grant is intended to assist Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum with the financial difficulties resulting from the 2025 fires and resulting road closure on Topanga Canyon Blvd. at PCH, and the withdrawal of needed funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Our first goal in meeting this challenge is to raise $50,000 in May. We invite you to join us by donating any amount to help us meet our urgent needs. Monthly donations of $25 or more are an easy and impactful way to support live theatre—and right now, your gift goes even further thanks to this challenge.
Thank you to the Herron Christensen Family Trust, and to YOU for your continued support!
Season Sponsorships FOR BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS
Season Sponsorships offer a unique and rewarding way for both individuals and businesses to be recognized for their support of the arts. Individual sponsors become part of our theatre family, sharing in the joy of our growth and success. Businesses recognize that theatre enhances quality of life and fuels local economic development. Sponsoring a production is not only a meaningful investment in our community—it also offers valuable opportunities for visibility, connection, and appreciation of employees, clients, and fellow arts supporters.

Planned Gifts, Stock, DAFs, RMDs
Your planned giving program can ensure future stability for Theatricum and its programs. Whether through bequest, endowment, or annuities, your gift will make a lasting mark on Theatricum’s next generations. Theatricum can now directly accept gifts of stock which means you pay no capital gains tax, while still deducting the full fair-market value. Another option is to make a contribution from your donor-advised fund (DAF). And, if you’re over 70 ½ and have a mandatory taxable distribution from your IRA, you can contribute that directly to Theatricum without counting the distribution as taxable income. Please consult your tax professional for guidance.
More Giving Opportunities
As a corporate donor, benefits may include ad space in our season playbill, your logo and company name on our website, ticket packages, and personal experiences with our company members.
These unique ceramic plaques are individually made by artist Megan Geer-Alsop from durable, high-fired clay. Each plaque is installed on a wall in Theatricum’s garden. Price range from $500 – $2500.
Through your contribution to The Herta Ware or Heidi Helen Davis scholarship funds, children, interns, families and adults receive training in the classics which instill a love of Shakespeare, heightened language and ensemble-based storytelling.
