SOPHOCLES SOCIETY

Named after the prolific Greek playwright, actor and theatre innovator, Actors Theatre’s Sophocles Society recognizes those who have provided for the theatre in their estate plans. Lifetime membership is extended to individuals who support the theatre through a bequest by will or living trust, or through other planned gifts that provide income for life and tax benefits to the donor. While some 90% of the people in our community make charitable gifts during their lifetime, only 6% leave bequests to charitable organizations.

Please consider making a bequest to Actors Theatre. Your planned gift will have a profound effect on our future:
• Increase our endowment to ensure future stability
• Provide production support
• Support the creation of new plays for the American theatre
• Build younger and more diverse audiences by providing subsidized tickets to schools and community groups

Contact Trish Pugh Jones, Manager of Patron Relations, for further information at 502-584-1265 ext. 3062 or TJones@ActorsTheatre.org.
