DONATING TO BUDDIES

“Buddies is the beating heart and artistic soul of the queer community in Toronto, I am so grateful for this safe and special space.”

-Justin Haley, a donor to Buddies in Bad Times

Empowering Artists, Elevating Queer Voices, Keeping Theatre Alive.

CONNECTING COMMUNITIES

Buddies is a space where queer communities can come together. From our intergenerational programming, to late nights at Tallulah’s, to discounted community rentals, your support helps
to keep this vibrant and vital queer meeting place
open to all.

EXPANDING OUR REACH

As the world’s largest and longest-running queer theatre, Buddies is uniquely positioned to share queer stories across Canada and beyond. Your support helps bring Buddies productions like Kiinalik: These Sharp Tools to stages around the
world, and allows us to bring in groundbreaking
queer works from across the country.

CREATING INCLUSIVE QUEER SPACES

Our donors play a key role in ensuring that everything that happens at Buddies can be enjoyed by our entire community by providing affordable and free tickets for folks in need, supporting
our year-round program of ASL-interpreted and
relaxed performances, and helping to create more
opportunities for Deaf and disabled artists.

PUTTING QUEER STORIES ON STAGE

By supporting our Mainstage and Festival programming, you will be providing opportunities for hundreds of queer artists to share their work on our stage and ensuring they have the time, supports, and resources they need to succeed.

ELEVATING QUEER VOICES

Be part of the creation of original queer performance by supporting our artist and new work development programs. Your donation will fund artist residencies and workshops, as well as training programs like our Emerging Creators Unit and Emerging Company-in-Residence.
