Here's why donors choose to support Shaking the Tree
"I saw the spectacular Blood Wedding in early November and cannot stop thinking and talking about that production. All the best for offering more great theater in 2024. I only wish I wasn't so far away. I would be a regular attendee."
"I have enjoyed several productions there, most recently Blood Wedding!"
"I've seen two shows by Shaking the Tree with a friend of mine in the last year. First was Forbidden Fruit, which was my friend's favorite show of the year. That was a really good show, it was very personal and emotional. Then we saw Blood Wedding, which was the best show that I saw for the year. It was very powerful and beautifully performed. I look forward to seeing more excellent productions from Shaking the Tree with my friend in the future. Thank you for all that you do."
"Keep up the good work, friends!!!"

Sometimes it's because the stage and audience is set up in some new way, or just because I know that everything about what I'm about to see is going to be amazing."
