Your Support Helps Durango PlayFest:
-
BRING NEW PLAYS TO LIFE. Give audiences of all ages an affordable, behind-the-scenes look at how a play develops, from the first rehearsal to a staged reading.
-
GIVE AUDIENCES A VOICE. Your support creates opportunities for people to share feedback, take part in discussions, and connect one-on-one with both established and emerging playwrights.
-
INVEST IN YOUNG PEOPLE. We offer paid internships that give young people hands-on experience and the chance to learn from theatre professionals from around the country.
-
SUPPORT LOCAL TALENT. Paid festival positions help local actors, stage managers, and other theatre professionals do what they love while contributing to our community.
-
BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. Theatre invites us to see the world through someone else’s eyes. By sharing stories and experiences, we build connections across different perspectives and find common ground.

Make a Monthly Gift
Recurring donations of any size add up, giving PlayFest a more reliable foundation to plan ahead. Make your gift through Colorado Gives through December. You can also arrange monthly donations through your bank at any time of year. Learn more.
Give Through Your IRA
If you’re 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) may be a tax-smart way to support PlayFest. Instead of taking a withdrawal, paying taxes on it, and then donating the remainder, the funds go directly from your IRA to Durango PlayFest. To qualify, the check must be issued by your IRA custodian directly to PlayFest. Learn more.
Donate to the Christina Erteszek Memorial Fund
Named in honor of one of PlayFest’s beloved founders, the Christina Erteszek Memorial Fund helps us think beyond the next festival. Held at the respected Community Foundation of Southwest Colorado, this quasi-endowment is invested to help ensure PlayFest’s future. Contribute to the Christina Erteszek Memorial Fund.
