Support Nakai

$24 for 2024 Campaign

(the donation form might take a moment to load)

Each year over 1,200 folks attend our live shows, and even more see the puppets or bask is some unexpected light. 

From creating and touring homegrown performances, experiments in outdoor theatre, visits to day camps, inspiring guest artists from away and more, Nakai uses your financial support to help pay creators and keep our programming accessible. 

Throughout the pandemic we brought our work outside and doubled down on our focus of supporting local joy and delight in our community.

We also stopped asking for money as much, because events and experiences were mostly free or by donation, and times were hard for many of us.

Times are still hard for many of us, but if you can,
Donations warm our hearts and make the work possible.

We’re grateful for anything you can give.
