This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of world-class theatre to local Orange County students. Your support helps more than 9,000 students each year experience the magic of live performance through South Coast Repertory’s Theatre for Young Audiences, Theatre Access, and MyStage programs—providing free or deeply discounted tickets to SCR’s productions. Your gift will open the door for students of all ages to enjoy an incredible range of shows—from beloved classics and musicals to exciting new world premieres. A donation of $25, $50, $75, or any amount, makes a lasting impact and helps nurture the next generation of theatre lovers and artists.

Tony Award-winning South Coast Repertory, founded in 1964, is led by Artistic Director David Ivers and Managing Director Suzanne Appel. SCR is widely recognized as one of the leading professional theatres in the United States. While its productions represent a balance of classic and modern plays and musicals, SCR is renowned for its extensive new-play development program—The Lab@SCR—which includes one of the nation’s largest commissioning programs for emerging, mid-career and established writers. Of SCR’s more than 550 productions, one-quarter have been world premieres. SCR-developed works have garnered two Pulitzer Prizes and eight Pulitzer nominations, several Obie Awards and scores of major new-play awards. SCR’s education programs foster the next generation of artists and audiences through a variety of ticketing and learning opportunities, including the award-winning Theatre Conservatory, which offers year-round acting and playwriting classes for kids, teens and adults. Located in Costa Mesa, Calif., SCR is home to the 507-seat Segerstrom Stage, the 336-seat Julianne Argyros Stage and the 94-seat Nicholas Studio. www.scr.org
