Sometimes it's the little things.

Like Jack and his magic beans, great things can come from small beginnings. Your gift to The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati, no matter the size, works a lot like Jack's beans – opening a portal to the unexpected and the wonderful through enchanting works of theater for the children, schools, and families of our community.

Please consider a gift to The Children's Theatre. This year, more than ever, we are depending on contributions from people like you – people who support our children, our community, and believe in the power of the arts to enrich the lives of those who are touched by it. Your generous gift to The Children's Theatre is put to work in so many ways. For example:

• A gift of $7 can bring a hardworking student to the theater for the very first time.
• Our costumer can sew your $50 gift into a talking teapot, a princess's gown or a reindeer's tail.
• Our talented set designers may paint your gift of $150 onto a flat canvas and create a magical castle or a spooky cave.
• Your gift of $500 may fill the gas tank of our touring company's van for one week (ok, maybe part of a week!) – allowing them to bring the gift of theater directly to our children's schools.

Thank you again and again!

Sincerely,

Owen Wrassman President, Board of Directors

Jack Louiso Artistic Director
