Friends Information
We need your help now more than ever! Please donate if you can, and consider becoming an ongoing donor. Contact business@durhamsavoyards.org for information on stock donation, memorial gifts, estate planning, and other options.
For well over half a century we have loved bringing fun and beauty to the Triangle by presenting the brilliant works of William S. Gilbert & Arthur S. Sullivan. We strive for professional-quality full stage productions while keeping our ticket prices easily within reach. We also present concerts and scaled productions at numerous venues throughout the Piedmont area. All of this is possible thanks to the generous support of our Durham Savoyard Friends.
Please consider becoming a Durham Savoyard Friend with a tax-deductible gift to our non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. A gift at any level entitles you to receive mailings, information on special events, and invitations to our parties. Joining our troupe of merrymakers in this way is truly the easiest way to become part of the joy of these operettas in North Carolina.
Friends are recognized in performance programs in six levels of giving:
Mikado – $1000 and above
Sorcerer – $500 to $999
Lord High Admiral – $250 to $499
Pirate of Penzance – $100 to $249
