When you donate any amount to Local Theater Company, you provide valuable support for our mission to discover, develop, and produce new American plays. Our developmental readings and world premieres, presented in and around Boulder, CO, aim to expand the dramatic canon by reflecting our diverse perspectives. Additionally, Local offers free literacy education to students at Title 1 schools through its LocalWRITES program.
