To our Ruff community,
We have been blown away by your excitement and support this season. From your
participation in Ruff Reads to selling out our Queen Margaret reading; from filling Blind
Imaginings beyond capacity to your words of celebration about our Richard Three casting
announcement; from subscribing to Ruff Radio to spreading the word about the Young Ruffian
program. We love you, and we are grateful for you!
As you’ve probably guessed, the leadership collective has big dreams for Ruff, and you can help
us achieve them. If you are able, please check out these four major ways you can support us
this summer and beyond:
Make a One-Time Donation
A one-time donation to Shakespeare in the Ruff helps us right now. As we head into our
summer season, these funds go directly towards artist fees and production costs. All donations
receive a charitable tax receipt.

Join The Ruff 100
The Ruff 100 is our growing community of monthly donors at just $5+/month. These monthly
micro-donations are the lifeblood of Ruff and help us achieve our programming dreams all
season long. We are currently about 60% of the way to our goal of welcoming 100 new monthly
donors into our circle of support. Join us!

Become a Production Sponsor
Do you run a small (or big!) business? Would you like to support our production of Richard
Three this summer? Talk to us about program advertising and opportunities for special events
for your company during our performance run! We love making connections and developing
relationships with organizations of all kinds. Check out the advertising opportunities below or contact christine@shakespeareintheruff.com to discuss.
Sponsor a Ruff Program
Ruff is growing! As we increase our seasonal programming, we’re looking for major supporters
to help us develop these new initiatives. Talk to us about becoming an exclusive sponsor for
Ruff’s Winter Tale, the New Play Incubator, Ruff Radio, Ruff Reads, or the Young Ruffian
Apprenticeship Program. Contact christine@shakespeareintheruff.com to explore the
possibilities!
Looking for other ways to get involved? Consider volunteering with us in the park this summer!
Email info@shakespeareintheruff.com to join our community of volunteers. And follow
Shakespeare in the Ruff on social media for all the latest Ruff news.
Thank you! We look forward to seeing you in Withrow Park this summer for RICHARD THREE!
