More than 2,000 people have given us a tremendous gift. That’s the number of people who saw Porchlight Music Theatre’s acclaimed production of Putting it Together this past fall, a show that was only made possible through the partnership of our audience members, volunteers and donors alike. This partnership created a unique, memorable and enriching experience for everyone who saw our show.

Please take a moment and make a tax-deductible gift to Porchlight this holiday season.  Your continued help is needed to fund productions and programs that advance musical theatre in Chicago...

Your support in part will produce the Chicago premiere of A Catered Affair, opening in February. An exquisitely scored and emotionally layered new musical based on the beloved Bette Davis film, helmed by music director Doug Peck and director Nick Bowling - two of the best theatre minds in Chicago today. Your gift will ensure that Doug, Nick and all of the other artists working on this show will have the resources they need to “Wow!” Chicago with this gem of a play.

Your support will also enable Porchlight to hire more Equity actors for each show.  This means artists at the height of their careers – local favorites like Rebecca Finnegan and Craig Spidle, the stars of A Catered Affair, and Broadway veteran Adam Pelty, who starred in Putting it Together.

You want to see the best musical theatre artists on Porchlight’s stage, in productions that are breathtakingly intimate... emotionally powerful... gorgeously sung... Performances you just can’t see at the larger, commercial musical theatre companies.  It is your support that puts these artists on a Porchlight stage no more than 10 feet away from you.

Chicago premieres...the best talent today...the future of this American art form.  Your gift to Porchlight accomplishes so much. This is an exciting time of growth for the company and everyone at Porchlight is thrilled to be a part of it. 

Please take a moment to watch the video above and learn more about all the exciting plans we have in store at Porchlight, and hear from just a few of the people working to bring them to you
