Thanks for Supporting
The New Debut Arts Centre
Help us move into our new building!
100% of donations are currently dedicated to helping us prepare our new building for move-in as part of our Capital Campaign. Help us build a blackbox stage, green room, costume and set storage rooms, classrooms, workshops space, offices and a lobby. Able to give $1,000+? We’ll give you a named seat in one of our new theatres!
Now through December 31, 2025, all donations will be matched dollar for dollar up to $250,000 thanks to the generous support of Edward M. Warner and Jacalyn D. Erickson. So your donation will be doubled!
