Support the Arts

Support ETC at the New Vic

Charitable Donations are Essential to ETC’s Productions and Programs.

ETC depends on generous community support all year long to bring bold, professional theatre to Santa Barbara. Your tax-deductible gift helps keep ticket prices accessible, fuels our education and outreach programs, and empowers artists to create work that inspires, challenges, and brings people together.

 

Every contribution—of any size—makes a meaningful difference.

Ticket sales cover only 40% of our $3.4 million annual budget. That means 60% of everything you see on our stage—and everything that makes it possible—depends on charitable contributions.

 

With your support, we can continue telling transformative stories onstage and expanding access to the arts across the Central Coast.

Thank you for being an essential part of our creative community.
