WHY donate to new west theatre
It has been an incredible journey for us over the last 30+ years, and we couldn’t have done it without your enthusiastic support. You are the reason we’re able to bring quality productions to our community year after year.
For less than the price of a cup of coffee a day, you can help support the longevity of New West Theatre. Your support of Theatre in Lethbridge is paramount – we understand that most people don’t have the ability to give large donations all at once, but a small monthly donation creates a long-term, lasting impact on our organization.
With monthly donations, we can reach further and plan for bigger, more innovative productions. For just $10 a month, you contribute to covering day-to-day essentials that keep our theatre running, like rehearsal space and lighting maintenance, with a $20 monthly donation, you’re helping pay an artist for a rehearsal day. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact.
Monthly giving is a budget-friendly way to spread your support throughout the year and create a lasting legacy with New West Theatre. A regular monthly donation allows us to think ahead—funding larger productions, paying artists fair wages, and sustaining youth education programs that nurture future performers.
Your consistent support reduces our administrative costs, ensuring that more of your donation directly supports what you see on stage. Together, we can ensure that New West Theatre thrives for many years to come.”

From the Heart: Stories from Our Donors
Discover the journeys that inspire generosity
– Live theatre is not a movie, a TV show, or something AI put together to grab our attention. It is real. Real people, just like us, singing our songs, playing our music, telling our stories, and sharing our culture. We love live theatre and want everone to have the opportunity to experince the joy and awe we feel after a show, or maybe even be up on the stage, performining.
John & Lisa Huvaneers
– On a personal level , it is very fulfilling to be a small part of fostering creativity, inspiring younger generations of performers, and promoting community cohesion, all through this talented group. We love having access to such high quality performances. Our step is a little lighter, our smile comes a bit easier, and our hearts a bit fuller after a show.
John & Lisa Huvaneers
– Selfishly, we are just so happy we can go to shows like these, and never want them to stop, like ever! Many of our friends and family use these productions to mark a special event, like a birthday or anniversary. Investing in local talent is an investment in local people. Aside from their performances,
we appreciate the effort New West Theatre puts into training, encouraging and finding new talent from Southern Alberta.
