Introducing the Next Act Legacy Society

March 20, 2026

Theatre Lawrence is proud to announce the launch of the Next Act Legacy Society—a new planned giving program created to recognize and honor friends who choose to support Theatre Lawrence through estate and legacy gifts.


Legacy gifts help ensure that live theatre, educational opportunities, and community programs at Theatre Lawrence continue for generations to come. By including Theatre Lawrence in your plans, you’re helping sustain the work you love—onstage and beyond—for the long term.


We are also pleased to share that our Gift Intention Form is now available. Completing this form allows you to let us know you’ve included Theatre Lawrence in your estate plans and become a Charter Member of the Next Act Legacy Society. (The form does not create a legal obligation—it simply helps us recognize your intention and welcome you into the Society.)


Download the Gift Intention Form and return it by mail or email using the instructions provided on the form. If you have questions or would like to talk confidentially about legacy giving options, we’d be glad to visit with you.


Thank you for helping ensure the next act of Theatre Lawrence is as vibrant as the stories we’ve shared so far.
