Be Part of the Story
Elevating LGBTQ+ Voices Through Theatre
Uptown Players produces bold, inclusive, and unapologetic theatre that celebrates LGBTQ+ voices. Your support brings these stories to life on stage.
Your support helps bring powerful performances to life while creating opportunities for performers, designers, musicians, and technicians across North Texas.
Your gift is more than a donation — it’s a statement of support.
Your gift is tax-deductible.
Your Impact
Ticket sales cover just 45% of our annual operating budget. Individual donors and corporate partners help us bridge the gap so we can continue producing professional theatre that reflects and celebrates our community.
Your support allows Uptown Players to:
- Hire 100+ local artists and creative professionals each season
- Produce professional LGBTQ+ theatre for Dallas audiences
- Develop and debut new works amplifying LGBTQ+ voices
- Maintain a safe and inclusive environment for artists and audiences
Together, we ensure that these stories continue to be told on stage.
