DONATE
The magic of live theatre begins with you. Sierra Repertory Theatre is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit (Federal ID # 95-3370703). Ticket revenue covers less than two-thirds of the cost to produce a show. That’s why we rely on donors like you to close the gap. Every dollar you donate becomes the paint on a beautiful backdrop, the feathers on an amazing costume, or the lights that make a guest performer shine.

HOUSING HOSTS
Many of the actors who perform in the outstanding shows created by Sierra Rep need local housing. Artists come from all around the country to perform for you. Sierra Rep’s housing program finds local residents with a spare room or guest house to host visiting performers for the duration of each play. While many families currently participate as hosts, we are in need of additional participants in Columbia, Sonora and Jamestown. In any given year, Sierra Repertory attracts more than 150 artists to Tuolumne County. Over half of these artists need local housing throughout the year, including several weeks when we have nearly 50 artists in town at once!
