Support the Art of Storytelling: Empower Stageworks Theatre's Mission

As Tampa’s longest-running professional theatre, we are an integral part of the cultural landscape in Tampa, bringing intellectual, emotionally challenging and socially relevant theatre to our area. For the past 42 seasons, we have been recognized as a visionary force in bringing bold, innovative theatrical productions to the Tampa Bay area. Our mission to “Ignite the Human Spirit” has been at the forefront of every production, event, program, and community partnership we’ve developed through the years. All of which has been led by our Producing Artistic Director, Karla Hartley.

Supporting Our Growth: Why an Annual Fund Matters

Our ability to impact the community through the arts and culture that theatre programs provide have been in part to the huge support of our donor base, grants, and special events. One of these sources was the Florida State budget grants that up until this past year made over $32 million available to art and cultural organizations across our state. With the governor cutting the funds that so many of us depended on for the continuation of our theater programs, we are rising to the challenge at Stageworks Theatre!

Ensuring the Spotlight Stays Bright: What the Annual Fund Supports

Theatre has the unique ability to ignite the human spirit, but it requires more than passion – it needs the resources to make magic happen on stage. Your gift to the Stageworks Annual Fund will:

  • Fuel Creativity: Your donation will support innovative productions that push boundaries and spark conversation.
  • Nurture Talent: Contributions will help us provide opportunities for emerging artists to grow and share their talents with the world.
  • Connect Our Community: Your support ensures we can continue reaching diverse audiences, providing access to performances that inspire, challenge, and uplift.
