GIVING TUESDAY 2025:
A NEW APPROACH FOR GRAND RAPIDS CIVIC THEATRE
This Giving Tuesday and throughout the holiday season, Civic Theatre is asking for your support in a different way – by sharing some of the direct needs from our various departments that make theatre magic for you, your family, and our entire community.
If you’ve attended our holiday production of Disney’s Frozen, you may have spotted our “wishing tree” in the upper lobby, tagged with requests for special items to help us thrive. For your convenience, we’re also bringing that wish list in digital form to you right here on this page.
On it you’ll find things like:
FLASH DRIVES for Centennial archiving and marketing projects
SAW BLADES for our Scene Shop to cut wood and build sets for our shows
SIGN HOLDERS to help our Audience Experience team direct our patrons, showcase menus, and display special offers
FOLDERS for School of Theatre Arts students during Summer Camp
MAGNETS and LAMINATING SHEETS to create call board tags, so our cast and crew can tag in and out on each performance day
SNACKS for our School of Theatre Arts students in times of need
POSTER PAPER for speciality printing projects
WOOD GLUE for scenic design projects
NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES to support accessibility during performances and classes
… and so many more crucial products and supplies that support the operations of Grand Rapids Civic Theatre!
To purchase directly from our online wish list, click the “SEND A GIFT TO CIVIC” box below. To make a monetary donation that will help support these needs and more click the “MAKE A GIVING TUESDAY DONATION” box. (If you’re sending a gift our way, we ask that to ensure a smooth delivery, you schedule delivery from our online wish list prior to December 19th, 2025.)
Your gift, no matter how you make it, will help keep the magic of the theatre alive for generations to come.
