WordPlay Gala

In light of the recent developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 WordPlay Gala. While we are deeply saddened by this decision, we prioritize the health and safety of our guests, artists and staff. We have hopes for future opportunities to join in celebration.

Please consider a direct contribution in lieu of your attendance to support the theatre during this uncertain moment. We know that you have a lot on your mind right now, and even the time you are giving to read this statement is extremely valuable. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your support means the world to us and we are endlessly grateful for your generosity.  

Every WordPlay Gala supports the core values of the Writers Theatre mission. The money raised from this evening typically accounts for 25% of our annual fundraising goal, and these funds are critical to sustaining our programming and operations.

Ways you can still support:

• Give a gift through the WT website.
• Mail a check addressed to 321 Park Avenue, Glencoe IL, 60022
• Call Rachel K. Potter at 847-786-3517 to make a donation by phone.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting the 2020 WordPlay Gala. Please take care of yourselves, your families and your community.
