Open Eye Theatre

Invest in the magic of Open Eye Theatre! 

Your support empowers artists to create innovative productions and cultivate a dynamic creative community.

Imagine a theatre where inspiring stories come alive and artists push the boundaries of creativity. That's Open Eye – a vibrant hub where artistry flourishes and community joyfully thrives.

Your gift this Give to the Max will empower the next generation of artists, bring joy to thousands across the Twin Cities, and ensure access to exceptional art for everyone. Your donation will directly fuel:

• The triumphant return of INVISIBLE FENCES: A powerful collaboration exploring identity and disability with the exceptional artistry of Gaelynn Lea and Kevin Kling.
• Two NEW Driveway Tour puppet shows: We’re commissioning fresh stories to bring puppetry magic to 3,000+ people across 60 communities!
• Advancing careers through the PUPPET LAB Residency & Festival: Nurturing the next generation of puppeteers through workshops, mentorship, and a showcase of boundary-expanding new work, led by Co-Artistic Directors Oanh Vu and Sofía Padilla.
• The area premiere of LIZZIE: THE MUSICAL: Featuring some of the most dynamic voices in Twin Cities theatre, this rock opera exposes the secrets of America's most notorious axe-swinging murderess and will blow the roof off our theatre!
• Accessible art for everyone: Your support keeps ticket prices affordable through our Economic Accessibility program.
• Expanding our impact as a diverse theatre hub! We're committed to reaching wider audiences and amplifying new artistic voices every year.

Individual support is the lifeblood of Open Eye. We're raising $10,000 during Give to the Max to ensure a strong finish to our season and launch boldly into 2025. Play a starring role in bringing eye-opening art to audiences of all ages!

100% of funds raised during Give to the Max will go directly to supporting artists!
