Ongoing Seasonal Engagement Events

In addition to the talk-backs and scholar events we hold following select shows during the run, donors to Central Square Theater are invited to attend Opening Parties for each production in our season. We invite you to mix and mingle with the cast and crew, staff, and CST community. Other exclusive donor events include invitations to First Rehearsals, where our VIPs get a peek into the first sparks of a production. We hope to see you at the theater and beyond!

Donate now to experience it all with us.
