The Kitchen's 2025/26 Fall Appeal is Here!

It’s that time again… Fall has wrapped Tompkins County in its golden glow, school’s back in full swing, and, thanks to our patrons and donors, Kitchen Theatre Company’s 35th season is off to an amazing start.

We’ve just completed one of our most successful shows in recent memory: Bad Books broke attendance records going back six years, and our second show, King James, is poised to build on that momentum. And this is just the beginning. Every production this season will extend that energy and further crystallize the Kitchen’s role as a hub for boundary-breaking new theater.

In uncertain times, people crave community—places to gather for heartfelt conversations and to experience thoughtful work chosen by a fellow human, not an algorithm. The Kitchen is proud to be that gathering place for our audiences and a creative home for artists.

You make this possible. In honor of our 35th anniversary, we’re inviting 98 people—one for every seat in our theater—to consider $35/month. Together we can raise $40,000 to uplift bold, intimate, engaging theater in Ithaca. Your gift today, whether renewed, increased, or made monthly at any level, makes a direct impact and keeps high-quality professional theater alive and thriving in Ithaca.

Thank you for everything you do to support and sustain our work. It means the world to have you by our side in the Kitchen.
