St Croix Festival Theatre

Theatre That Builds Community — And You Make It Possible

At St. Croix Festival Theatre, we believe the performing arts are for everyone. For over 35 years, we’ve created space for storytelling, connection, and joy—right here in the heart of the St. Croix River Valley.

A space to create. A place to gather. A story ready to be told.

Because of you, those moments continue to happen.

Growing with Purpose

In 2024, we returned to the Historic Auditorium—expanding what’s possible for our productions and our audiences, while continuing to perform across multiple spaces. That shift has allowed us to reach more people, take on more ambitious work, and deepen our connection to this community.

At the end of 2025, Festival Theatre received an extraordinary gift: a neighboring building that will become housing for guest artists and a dedicated costume shop. This investment in our future will strengthen everything we do—from the artists we can welcome, to the quality of work we can produce.

But growth also brings new responsibility. Sustaining expanded programming, supporting professional artists, and keeping our work accessible all require ongoing support.

We are proud to be a professional theatre, employing artists from across the country and beyond. Your gift helps us pay fair wages, uphold high standards, and continue bringing exceptional work to our stage.

Your support makes this work possible:

You bring powerful stories to life
Professional artists and community members come together on our stage to create work that sparks connection, conversation, and joy.

You support working artists
Actors, directors, designers, and technicians rely on places like Festival Theatre. Your support helps us offer fair pay and meaningful opportunities.

You create theatre with heart
Our Playmakers Series brings generations together in fully supported productions. This spring, Frozen JR invites young performers to take the stage in a story full of courage, imagination, and music.

You invest in young people
Through our Young Playmakers Summer Camps, students build confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills through hands-on theatre experiences.

You keep the arts accessible
For many in our region, Festival Theatre is their first experience with live performance. Your support keeps ticket prices within reach.

You strengthen this community
A vibrant arts scene brings people together and makes this region a place where creativity can thrive.

Festival Theatre happens because you make it happen!

Festival Theatre exists because of you.

Our goal for GiveBig 2026 is to raise $18,000, with $8,000 in matching funds already committed. Every gift made during this campaign brings us closer—and goes twice as far.

Your support sustains this next chapter: a growing theatre, a new creative home for artists, and a community that continues to show up for the arts.

Make your gift today—and be part of what comes next.
