MEMBERSHIP AT FORD'S THEATRE
There are two membership programs available to individuals wishing to support Ford's Theatre: The Friends of Ford's Theatre, and the John T. Ford Society.
Friends of Ford’s Theatre members receive a variety of benefits to help them enjoy their Ford’s Theatre experience on a greater level. It features two levels of support: a $50 Associate level and a $250 Contributor level. The Friends of Ford’s Theatre is ideal for those who enjoy attending performances and want to be more involved while helping to support our performances and activities.
The John T. Ford Society is our membership program for individuals wishing to make a significant investment in the mission of Ford’s Theatre. It combines philanthropy with exclusive benefits and a level of access that is unavailable to the general public. Membership begins at our Sustainer level with an annual gift of $1,000 and continues at our Patron level, with an annual gift of $5,000 or more. (see below for benefits information)
