gift of theatre
For every $25 you donate to the A.D. Players Gift of Theatre fund, we provide no-cost tickets to people from under-resourced communities throughout Houston who could not afford a ticket otherwise.
Research shows that attending live theatre can increase empathy. At a time when empathy can feel scarce, you can help us provide stories that spread hope, redemption, and joy to all members of the Houston community.
If you would like to be a recipient of Gift of Theatre tickets, please fill out the form below.

Planned Giving
As a donor to A.D. Players at the George Theater, you may use your giving to achieve personal goals, enhance your financial security and to help shape the future of theater.
Planned giving includes a number of ways for you to include charitable giving in your total financial plan. There are advantageous tax treatments of gifts under both state and federal law. Planned giving can help you maximize these tax benefits.
Tax advantages can often make it possible for you to provide a greater gift than you thought possible, while also benefiting your family and heirs. Many donors and supporters of the arts have chosen planned giving as a way to show their interest in supporting Theater beyond their lifetime, while realizing some tax benefits today.
The type of asset and the way it is given to the George determines the actual tax and financial benefits that can result from a gift. Certain planned gift arrangements provide you with an opportunity to diversify your holdings, turn highly appreciated assets into a gift that provides you income, and allow you to enjoy significant tax savings. With careful planning today, you may reduce or eliminate estate, inheritance, or gift taxes, allowing your family and the charities you support to receive the full benefits of your life's work. Certain gift plans actually result in a greater amount of wealth passed on to your family.
As with all financial decisions, a planned gift should be designed with care. A planned giving professional should work closely and confidentially with you to ensure that your gift achieves your individual goals, and expresses your personal vision.
