HELP THE LEGACY RISE
Join Common Ground Theatre’s “20 for 12” Campaign
For generations, Common Ground Theatre has been a creative home where Black stories are celebrated, artists are nurtured, and our community can see its history, humanity, and brilliance reflected onstage.
As we prepare for our 2027–2028 season and look forward to returning to the newly renovated theatre at the Educational Cultural Complex, we invite you to help build the foundation for Common Ground Theatre’s next chapter.
We are seeking friends, patrons, artists, businesses, churches, and community members to join our “20 for 12” Campaign by committing just "$20 per month for 12 months."
Your support will help Common Ground Theatre:
• Produce powerful and culturally relevant theatrical experiences
• Create opportunities for local actors, directors, playwrights, designers, and technicians
• Introduce young people to the transformative power of theatre
• Preserve and share Black history, culture, and stories
• Prepare for a dynamic 2027–2028 season
• Strengthen one of the nation’s longest-running Black theatre companies for future generations
As efforts to diminish or overlook Black history continue across the country, institutions like Common Ground Theatre remain essential. Through live theatre, we preserve our stories, celebrate our voices, and ensure that our history is passed from one generation to the next.
In appreciation of your commitment, “20 for 12” supporters will be recognized on the Common Ground Theatre website and on a special tribute page appearing in the programs for our upcoming season. Your contribution may also be made in honor or in memory of someone special.
Please select "20 For 12" donation button and establish an automatic monthly contribution of $20 for 12 months. You may also fulfill your complete commitment through a one-time gift of $240.
Enrollment in the “20 for 12” Campaign continues through November 30, 2026.
Twenty dollars a month may seem modest, but when our community stands together, it becomes a powerful investment in our artists, our stories, and our future.
Join “20 for 12” today—and help the legacy rise.
