Donate Today to Help Us Close the Gap!
| Thanks to all who have made recent donations to Washington Revels, we've achieved our original goal for the spring campaign. But we still need to raise $25,000 to erase our fist deficit in a decade.
Revels' fiscal year comes to a close at midnight tonight, so we ask that you make a special "close the gap" gift now. Every contribution gets us closer! PLUS, your donation of $100 or more qualifies you for early priority tickets for Christmas Revels and a waiver of per-ticket fees.
