Ticket Revenue pays for only a portion of our productions
Contribute to an exciting tradition! We count on theater-lovers like you to keep local, live professional theatre thriving. Your donations do make a difference. Help us to produce quality classics and Shakespeare – buy better, period costumes, create beautiful stages and scenery, pay our dedicated actors.

Ask your employer if matching funds are available.
There are many ways to donate.
Donate props, set pieces and costumes. Oak Park Festival Theatre does not have much storage space, and we can not accept most donations unless they are needed for current productions. We will, however, sometimes ask for the loan of furniture and props. Elizabethan costumes are always welcome, as are boots and swords. Call the office at 708-445-4440 if you have items that you think might be of use to the theatre; or email our Managing Director at info@oakparkfestival.com.
Donate when you buy tickets. You can make a secure online donation when you purchase tickets from our Theatermania storefront.
You also can make a donation by cash, check or credit card when you visit our box office before a performance, or call to make payment by phone.
Donate by mail. You may send your check or credit card information to:
Oak Park Festival Theatre
P.O.Box 4114
Oak Park, Illinois 60303
Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number and email in a note. If paying by credit card, please also include the credit card number, expiration date and security code located on the back side of your card.
Ask your employer if matching funds are available.
Oak Park Festival Theatre is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, and your donation is tax deductible to the full extent of the law. We will send you a receipt in the mail before the end of the calendar year.
