Make a donation to Trap Door Theatre today!

Trap Door Theatre has spent more than three decades championing bold, unconventional work that you won’t find anywhere else in Chicago. From daring new voices to radically reimagined classics, our tiny space is packed with big risks, loud questions, and the kind of live, in-your-face performance that can only happen in an intimate room like ours.

Ticket sales alone simply don’t cover the real cost of making this work. Every gift – of any size – directly supports:

• Paying artists and staff a more sustainable wage
• Keeping ticket prices accessible so cost is never a barrier
• Developing new plays and translations from around the world
• Maintaining and improving our quirky little space so it can safely welcome everyone

If Trap Door has challenged you, moved you, or given you a night you can’t stop talking about, please consider adding a donation to your ticket purchase today. Your support keeps this scrappy, stubborn, international, impossible theatre alive and kicking.

Thank you for believing in risky art, strange stories, and the artists who make them. We truly can’t do it without you.
