WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

There’s no way to sugar coat it. The past few years have been pretty brutal on the arts community. As arts organizations around the Bay Area have been forced to close their doors, we know that the only way we can continue to produce kick-ass live theatre in San Francisco is with the help of our community. We ask you to consider making a tax-deductable donation to help keep the light shining bright at Ray of Light Theatre. In return, we promise to continue serving up the amazing BLOOD. SWEAT. MUSICALS. that you’ve come to expect!

Thank you. Seriously.
