Being a member of the Director’s Circle makes me feel a part of the Northern Stage family. I think often about how lucky we are to have such an exceptional theater in our midst, and how empty our lives would be without it!!” – Brucie Hubbell

“In our small communities it’s not often we find arts organizations whose quality rivals that of the best theaters in the country. We have that in Northern Stage. Being Director’s Circle members lets us observe the organization up close, and provides the financial support to help them continue to produce extraordinary theater experiences.”  – Jon & Wendy Spector

Membership Makes A Difference

The Director’s Circle membership program offers arts lovers the next level of access to the theater; benefits include behind-the scenes access, ticketing perks, and event invitations. Members typically renew each spring, investing in the upcoming season months before rehearsals get underway. Director’s Circle members receive a range of benefits designed to deepen connections, expand artistic access, and maximize convenience. These Include:
Early subscription renewal and ticket booking: Members  can book their tickets in advance of the general public, offering your pick of the very best possible dates & seats.
Script Clubs: Gain insight into every production by observing rehearsal and engaging in discussion with members of the creative team.
Waived ticket exchange fees: Plans changed? No problem! Swap your tickets for any other performance of a given production with no additional fees.
Cocktail hours: Bring a friend, enjoy a pre-show glass of wine, and get to know other theater lovers!
Invitations and first access: Members receive advance notice of and invitations to events and experiences throughout the year, including workshops, education classes, play readings – and of course the Season Reveal party.

Subscriptions
A Northern Stage subscription consists of one ticket to each main stage production per season (two subscriptions maximum per Director’s Circle membership of $1,500 or more). Subscriptions carry a cash value of $295 each, which must be excluded from tax reporting.  

Guest vouchers
A guest voucher is good for one complimentary ticket. Each individual voucher carries a cash value of $45. Guest vouchers may be redeemed for tickets to any professional or education production in the 2024-25 Northern Stage Season (subject to availability, with some blackout dates). We hope you will use these vouchers to introduce Northern Stage to your friends, acquaintances, and family!  

To reserve tickets using your vouchers, call the box office at (802) 296-7000. Reservations must be made under the  member’s name and. include the guests’ contact information. All seats are subject to availability, so advance reservations are strongly recommended.

Tax-deductibility
Northern Stage is a 501(c) (3) registered non-profit, EIN #04-3387268. A portion of most memberships is tax-deductible as a charitable gift according to current U.S. tax law. Your acknowledgment letter will state the allowed gift amount. You may also choose to waive your benefits to increase your likely tax deduction. 

Giving through donor advised funds
Due to tax regulations, donors who give through donor advised funds cannot receive any Director’s Circle benefits carrying a monetary value; however, donors may choose to pay for those benefits separately to receive greater deduction.  We recommend checking with your tax or financial advisor(s) to ensure proper tax documentation in all cases.
