Public Theater pauses season to mount fundraising campaign

The Public Theater of San Antonio is pausing productions to make way for a $500,000 “Save the Playhouse” emergency fundraising campaign.

— resident companies of the San Pedro Playhouse, the Public Theater’s home in San Pedro Park — will go on as scheduled.

Ciaravino said the Public Theater’s pause is in part to avoid such layoffs and cuts, and the hope is to resume productions in 2024 in a healthier and more stable financial state. After receiving a $40,000 pledge from board members, the next step is reconnecting with past sustaining members of the organization from individual donors to foundations and corporations, Ciaravino said. A gala celebration is planned for the fall, and plans are in the works for a new education program for all ages.
