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 30 years, we’ve created space for storytelling, connection, and joy—right here in the heart of the St. Croix River Valley.

Now, we need your help to keep the story going.

2025 Marks a Thrilling New Chapter

Last season, we made a major move back into the Historic Auditorium—a beautiful, storied space that had served as our home for many years. This move almost quadrupled our audience capacity, reconnected us with our roots, and opened the door to bigger productions and deeper community impact. But with this bold step comes increased responsibility—and you are the reason we can rise to meet it.

We are proud to be a professional theatre that hires artists from across the country and beyond. Your gift helps us uphold industry standards, pay fair wages, and deliver the high-quality work our community deserves.

When you give to Festival Theatre, you make a real impact:

📣 You amplify artistic voices

Your gift empowers professional artists to tell meaningful stories that resonate with our community—sparking conversation, connection, and joy.

🎨  You support working artists

We are proud to be a professional theatre, employing actors, directors, designers, and technicians who make their living in the arts. Your donation helps us pay fair wages and attract top talent to our stage.

🎭 You create theatre with heart

Our Playmakers Series features professionally-supported community productions that bring together local talent and professional artists. This year’s lineup includes The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (a magical youth production) and Treasure Island (an epic all-ages adventure). These shows unite generations and celebrate what’s possible when we create together.

🌟 You empower youth through the arts

Our Young Playmakers Summer Theatre Camps are weeklong, joy-filled adventures where kids rehearse and perform a full show—gaining confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills that last long after the curtain falls.

🎟️ You make the arts accessible

Many families in our region experience live, professional theatre for the first time through Festival Theatre. Your donation keeps tickets affordable and programs within reach for everyone.

🌿 You enrich the St. Croix River Valley

Artists who live and work in small towns spark creativity, connection, and vitality. With your help, we’re building a more vibrant, imaginative, and united community.

Festival Theatre happens because you make it happen!

🎉 We can’t do this without you.
