Your gifts sustain one of the world’s preeminent Musical Theatre Companies, allowing us to:

  • Produce the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan (and other works of comparable wit, literacy and musical merit)

  • Provide performance opportunities to local theatre artists
  • Promote appreciation for the arts through youth programs, school performances and community outreach

Valued patrons who contribute on an automatic, recurring basis receive special benefits. Learn more about how the Maybud Club supports the Lamplighters.
