SUPPORT THEATER IN THE OPEN

Support The Gatekeeper’s House Renovation!

The Gatekeeper's House is the backdrop for all of our programs, from our Summer Arts Workshop, to our original Pantomimes written and rehearsed within its walls. We are proud to be the Department of Conservation & Recreation curators for this property, entrusted with its care and preservation.

This year, we must take on the biggest renovation project to date: renovating the exterior of the Gatekeeper's house – shingles, stucco, and the roof – to ensure its longevity. We were honored to receive a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council to provide half of the funding for this project, but we can only receive it if we can raise the remaining $80,000 – will you help us achieve this match? We only have $40,000 more to go!

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a big difference in our effort to preserve the legacy of The Gatekeeper’s House and Theater in the Open for generations to come. Leave a lasting impression on our home by purchasing a paving stone on the walkway or a star for our tent. There are many ways to leave your mark!

EACH GIFT IS a Gift to the Community

This is an important time for Theater in the Open.

Your pledge helps demonstrate support for our efforts to restore this property, while continuing to contribute to the cultural life of this community.

As our sponsors have done, please look back on all the wonderful ways Theater in the Open has impacted your family, friends and neighbors, and look ahead with a tax-deductible donation.
