major gifts & sponsors

RUTHANNE & DENNIS NEESER Every year, Venice Theatre must raise approximately 28% of our yearly operating budget in contributed giving. Without the generous support of our donors, we would not have become the integral, enduring gem in the crown of our beautiful community for 70-plus years.

You can play a significant part - a starring role, you might say - in carrying this long-standing tradition into the future. We invite you to join our growing list of major donors and sponsors. Beginning at the $1,000 level, you will be eligible to join the Presidents Club, an exclusive group for Venice Theatre’s most generous supporters. The Presidents Club members receive special privileges like a reception preceding select performances of our MainStage Series in the Jervey Theatre (The 2021-2022 Season includes Almost, Maine; The Great American Trailer Park Musical; Ain’t Misbehavin’; Disney’s Beauty and the Beast; and To Kill a Mockingbird) and complimentary beverages. Presidents Club memberships also include the Benefactor Society starting at $10,000, the Platinum Society at $7,500, and the Gold Society at $5,000. Learn more about how to join the Club by contacting Eric Watters at 941.584.0640.
