Please consider making a donation to our Musical Chairs Campaign to make an impact for all KIDSTAGE kids — today’s and for generations to come.
The Cope Gillette Theatre is home to Village Theatre’s Youth Education Programs in Snohomish County. The theatre features sprung floors for dancing, state-of-the-art production equipment, multiple rooms for rehearsals and classes, and 157 telescoping seats — that need a name!
By naming all 157 seats, the Musical Chairs campaign will help to raise a significant portion of the final $252,000 of the total $2.8 million capital campaign for the Cope Gillette Theatre. Your gift helps Village Theatre provide a home for important Youth Education programs for thousands of youth in Snohomish County.
Name Your Seat Today!
Give a donation of $1,000, or about $28 a month for three years, and receive:
- Your name (or another name of your choice) on one of the telescoping auditorium seats at the Cope Gillette Theatre — for the life of the theatre.
- A word of your choice on the “Seat Wall” which is created when the seats are retracted for classes and events.
- A lasting legacy for you, your family, or your company in our theatre.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Join the movement and give – each Tuesday and every day – whether it’s some of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community.
It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.
Donation to Village Theatre can be made through our website, via Facebook, or by sending a donation in via mail.
Donors are keeping artistic opportunities alive and allowing for the dreams of our artists, staff, and patrons to continue to thrive.

Contributions support our return to our programs including:
•Mainstage productions that bring beautiful artistic work to life; crafted to tell stories that provide a shared experience and inspire thought, conversation, and joy.
•New work development including workshops, readings, residencies, and the return of our Beta productions to provide support for artists to create that is not found anywhere else.
•Nine youth education productions throughout the year and a full year of classes and camps designed to support student STEM learning and confidence growth.
We hope you will make a gift to support continued growth at Village Theatre. Your support ensures that we provide programming and productions that create opportunities, support learning, and enhance the theatrical experience.
