Wheaton Drama is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit Performing Arts organization. Your tax-deductible donations are always appreciated. You can donate online, through our ticketing partner. Or, you can mail a donation to our theatre at: Patron Support, Wheaton Drama, Inc., 111 N. Hale St., Wheaton, IL 60187.

Monetary donations can be given for the general upkeep and day-to-day service of the theatre, or earmarked for particular use.

Donations to WDI have enabled us to:

  • Expand our stage and audience seating
  • Upgrade the lighting, sound, and technology
  • Provide sign language interpreters for the deaf and hard of hearing
  • Fund specific productions that may have otherwise been financially unattainable
  • And so much more

Your donation to Wheaton Drama not only keeps a community of local artists learning and growing in their crafts, but enables the sharing of that creativity with our community at large. Thank you for being a part of keeping theater alive and well in the western suburbs!
