You're making dreams come true
Greetings!
You may have received a letter from Heather Dunkin Toller last week asking for your financial support at the year's end.

Every time you donate to Pentacle Theatre, you create possibilities for so many people:
  • You help actors experience what it’s like to step on that stage and fully become who they’re meant to be.
  • You transform audience members by exposing them to new worlds.
  • You provide high school students the opportunity to see live theater.

Read Heather's letter here . Be sure to watch Heather’s video, too. She even sings a few lines!
