The Little Theatre of Alexandria is a 501c(3) organization. While we are able to cover our operating expenses by the income generated by our productions, we rely on the tax-exempt donations of individuals and groups to help us improve our building and purchase vital technical equipment. Donors are thanked by name in our playbills according to giving categories:
Founding Fathers - $1,000 and above
Continental Congress - $500 to $999
Patriots - $250-$499
Alexandrians - $100-$249
Minutemen - $50-$99
Colonists - $25-$49
LTA Annual Donation Drive
The theatre is currently asking for financial help to make visible and tangible enhancements to the auditorium. Our theatre’s appearance is of utmost importance, and it is time to make some repairs and upgrades. There are three major items that need to be addressed in order to maintain the grandeur of the theatre. The goal is to raise $25,000 to replace the grand drape and the machine that opens and closes the curtain. In addition, minor repairs to the trim and an overall cleaning and repainting will add that final touch of freshness that is so needed.
To make a donation, call the Business Manager at 703-683-5778 x2 or download the donor form HERE and mail with your check.
