Friends of Ford's Theatre
The Friends of Ford’s Theatre program is for anyone who attends performances or wants to support our mission. Friends of Ford’s Theatre members receive a variety of benefits to enhance their overall Ford’s Theatre experience.
Memberships are valid for one year from the date of your gift, and the program features four levels of participation. Whether you visit once a month, once a year, or once in a lifetime - there's something in it for you!
