Consider a Monthly Donation
You can set up a monthly donation to automatically be charged to your credit card. Many donors find this a convenient and carefree way to make a larger donation over the course of a year than they would be able to make with a single gift. Monthly donations enhance the financial stability of the Theatre by providing a constant source of revenue.
Legacy Circle
We often say “our Theatre is your Theatre.” It takes many people to keep the Williamston Theatre in operation – not just artists and patrons, but also donors and volunteers. If you believe that our community is a better place because of a robust arts and cultural sector, consider including the Williamston Theatre in your estate planning. Your legacy will become our future.

"Buy" A Seat
From 2019-2022, Williamston Theatre worked on a major capital improvement project that removed the structural poles in the center of the theatre space. This has allowed for increased seating, improved lighting capabilities, and no visual obstructions. We continue to accept donations to our Capital Needs Fund to help maintain and protect our largest asset - our building. The Williamston Theatre building at 122 S. Putnam St. in Williamston was built in the 1890s and is in need of constant upkeep. Your donations help us keep it in tip top shape!
A gift of $1,000 to the Capital Needs Fund will be recognized with your name, or even a memorial tribute, on one of the seats in the Theatre. Consider making a gift today. Call or email Executive Director Emily Sutton-Smith at (517) 655-7469 to discuss options.
