Bucket Brigade Give to the Max 2025/26

Let’s keep art alive— a living, breathing, shareable experience. Live theater brings us together at a time when so much seems to be pushing us apart and our art experiences are increasingly digital, solitary, and even manufactured by machine. Through theater we connect, we share space with people we may not see eye-to-eye with, we relate, we bear witness to each other’s stories, and we become more aware of the beauty of our differences and our similarities.

Support Bucket Brigade and donate Thursday, November 20th, Give to the Max Day, to help us reach our goal of $15,000 so we can continue creating and sharing live theater experiences that help us do life together.  

And we’re excited to announce a Matching Gift! Every donation made will be matched, dollar for dollar, for the first $7,500!

Plus, every donation given on Nov. 20th makes us eligible for bonus GiveMN “Golden Tickets” ranging from $500 to $10,000! Your $10 donation could turn into $10k!

Thank you— for joining the staff, actors, designers, volunteers, donors, and community partners– we’re all Bucket Brigade and together, we can keep art— and hope— alive.
