Frequently Asked Questions about donating to PTC

I support PTC by buying tickets, why should I also donate?

Only 65% of PTC's total budget comes from ticket sales – Individuals, corporations, foundations, and government support make up the remaining 35%. It is only through the support of donors that PTC can continue to bridge the gap between ticket sales and operating costs.

Why doesn't PTC just cut expenses and cover costs with ticket sales?

Without donations, the average PTC ticket would cost nearly $65 and force many patrons to abandon going to the theatre. Other educational programs would also have to be cut back or even eliminated. Where does my gift go? Whether it be the professional actors, the nationally prominent directors and choreographers, or the scenery and costumes designed and constructed in PTC's own shop - every dollar of your contribution goes directly to what you see on stage.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Certainly. Your gift is deductible to the full extent allowed by the law. You will receive an acknowledgment letter and receipt from the University of Utah.
