Dear Lighthouse Patrons,
On this Giving Tuesday, we are reminded of the profound impact art has on our lives. At Lighthouse Festival, we believe that theatre is more than just entertainment—it is a mirror of our shared humanity, a spark that ignites creativity, and a space where voices are heard, stories are told, and communities are united.
Each year, we bring fresh voices to the stage, offering playwrights, directors, and performers the opportunity to craft stories that reflect our diverse experiences, challenge our perspectives, and connect us as a nation. Your donations have made this possible—and together, we can continue to grow.
This holiday season, we invite you to join us in a special mission: to continue nurturing and celebrating Canadian artists, while enriching the cultural fabric of our communities. With your support, we can shine even brighter in 2025 and beyond!
Your Giving Tuesday gift directly supports:
- Emerging Canadian Artists: Your donation helps fund the development and production of new plays by Canadian playwrights. These works often start as raw ideas, but with the help of our creative team and your support, they are nurtured into fully realized productions.
- Community Engagement: Through outreach, community partnerships, and our annual festival, we provide access to high-quality theatre for people of all ages and backgrounds. Your gift helps make theatre more accessible and meaningful for thousands of audience members each year.
- A Thriving Future: Lighthouse Festival is not just about celebrating the present. Your contributions allow us to look ahead with optimism and excitement as we plan new initiatives, expand our programming, and develop the next generation of Canadian talent.
With your support we will continue to have have privilege of welcoming new artists to our festival, and nurturing existing relationships with your favourite talent.
“I’ve been blessed to have been embraced several times as an actor and even once as a writer at Lighthouse. I’m always impressed by the community who is involved, artistically curious, and so supportive of what theatre can bring to their experience and enjoyment of life. It’s a magic place for all of us.”
– Deb Hale, ‘Sheree Hollinger’ in The Sweet Delilah Swim Club
Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. Your support makes all the difference, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment to the arts.
Together, we are all Lighthouse!
With gratitude,
Jane Spence, Artistic Director
