You make it possible!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising campaign!  As a board member of the Commonweal Theatre, I am hoping you will join me in supporting this vibrant professional theatre company nestled in the bluff lands of southeastern Minnesota.  My husband, Mark, and I have admired this grassroots arts organization since its inception 33 years ago, enriching the common good through a myriad of stories, bringing laughter, tears, or a tug at the heart - up close and personal!

We believe that art centers like the Commonweal, and the artists who work there, will need people like us to step up to the plate to support their enduring efforts to sustain the cultural well-being of the communities they serve.  

Thank you for considering the Commonweal Theatre as worthy of your support.  A contribution of any amount will help ensure the Commonweal's presence in years to come.  If you choose to give, you may donate through the GiveMN website, or send a check to:

Below is a note from Hal Cropp, Producing Artistic Director of the Commonweal.

The Commonweal Theatre belongs to you. Our success is defined by the ways in which we are actively serving and connecting with our community. In the current climate, it means helping people simply feel better by relieving stress and anxiety through our storytelling. It means a full company of professional artists being able to reconnect with you in bringing to life the stories that will uplift, challenge, and inspire the entire family for years to come. To that end, we have been grateful to offer you Root River Anthology, Art of the Entertainer, and Fully Committed, with yet still two more shows to come before the end of the year. We hold dearly our connection with you, and we look forward to connecting with you in person again.

Any amount you give today is vitally important and will go a long way towards ensuring that we are here to serve you in the years to come. We care deeply about the people who make our work possible, and your donation will be put to use sustaining our core company of Artist Administrators, therefore ensuring that the Commonweal itself can continue its mission in the years ahead.

Thank you,

Hal Cropp, Producing Artistic Director
