As we prepare for our 57th Season, we sincerely thank you for supporting live theatre at Circle Arts Theatre. Without the support of patrons like you, we would not be able to continue making improvements that enable us to provide all theatre-goers a quality experience. We are committed to excellence both on and off the stage, thus making your experience at Circle Arts enjoyable and one for which you are eager to return.

As we consider the list of potential upgrades for the theatre, we respectfully ask for your support. Funds are needed for new stage curtains that will replace the curtains that have been hanging over the stage for the past two decades. The rips and stains sustained during numerous productions can no longer be fixed to the standard that our patrons deserve. The same is true for the building itself! We are so blessed to have this incredible space to share laughter, tears, and the wonderment that quality live theatre brings to those experiencing it. However, the age of the building requires tender loving care to ensure the comfort and safety of our patrons, volunteers, and staff. Specifically, maintenance for the three HVAC and six mini-split AC units will ensure that we all remain comfortably cool once the brutal summer heat cloaks New Braunfels. In addition, a deep cleaning of the seating area, lighting systems, and dressing rooms will help maintain a healthy environment for everyone at the theatre.

Lastly, organization of our storage and clerical areas must be revamped to keep the workflow of the theatre efficient and accurate. Please consider a gift to help us achieve our goals to update, clean, and organize this amazing space. Your support will enable us to continue providing excellent live theatre in New Braunfels and give all of our actors and actresses a comfortable and professional setting in which to share their talents. Your help is very much appreciated!

Our Youth Need Your Help

Youth Sponsorship

Whether children have the opportunity to perform in theatre productions or help out behind the scenes, studying Drama and Performing Arts not only engages with the creative side of the brain, it also provides an ideal balance in students’ patterns of study. The theatre, dance and other performing arts can teach people how to express themselves effectively, and can also be a tool through which people with disabilities can communicate. In addition to teaching self-expression, the performing arts help society as a whole in self-knowledge and understanding.

At Circle Arts Theatre, we want every child do be able to participate in our programs. We can do that only with the support of our community contributors. Please consider a donation to our Youth programs, which will benefit children in the following ways:

• Pay tuition for children whose families are unable to afford K.I.D.s classes or Summer Camp.
• Send our Inner Circle members to the annual Texas Non-Profit Theatres Conference, where they perform their annual show for other non-profit theatre groups from around the state, take workshops in theatre arts from professionals in the industry, and create friendships with peer members of the other groups participating in the conference.
• Fund our Graduating Seniors Scholarship Fund, which grants scholarships to the members of the Inner Circle who are graduating from high school, some of whom have volunteered with the theatre since beginning K.I.D.s classes in second grade.
• Roberta Elliott was as much of Circle Arts Theatre as anyone can be. Literally raised in the theatre from its creation when she was 14, she would spend the rest of her life making theatre and changing lives. In 1978 she created The Inner Circle, our touring youth company. And for 44 years, she helped shape young people by being an incredible director, mentor and friend. The Roberta Elliot Memorial Award will go to one graduating senior from The Inner Circle that has shown the true spirit of theatre and community while in the program.

Thank your for considering a donation for our Youth members!
