Since opening in 2012, we have produced over 60 mainstage productions and offered year-round acting classes and musical events. Ticket sales only cover about 35% percent of the Playhouse’s expenses, including maintenance for our historic 1930’s building. You and our other Friends make the difference by funding the gap between box office receipts and operating budget. Please consider making a gift this year.

We want to remind you of a few of the most impactful, taxwise actions you can take now to keep the Cloverdale Playhouse strong and keep the arts alive in our community:
Donating a charitable gift of stock or mutual fund shares is a great way to keep CP’s lights on! By transferring stock (held long-term) to the Cloverdale Playhouse by December 31st, you can avoid all capital gain and deduct the full current value of the stock as a charitable gift if you itemize. You can even go on to repurchase the same stock for your portfolio and start fresh with no capital gain for your portfolio!
Even though there are no requirements for an RMD this year, if you’re 70 ½ or older and you have a traditional IRA, you’re eligible to make a taxwise gift directly from your IRA to the Cloverdale Playhouse. It’s sometimes called a “charitable IRA rollover” or a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). It can potentially keep you in a lower tax bracket because the gift bypasses your income and incurs no federal tax on the transfer. All of your money goes where you want it to! Important – the gift must be received by CP by December 31st. As a 501 (c) (3), the Playhouse qualifies. Be sure to have your IRA manager identify you as the donor of a QCD and have your gift sent directly to:
