A BIIIIG thank you to all of those that donated & helped us raise $4,180 this Give BIG! And a SPECIAL thanks to those of you who helped us WIN THE POWER HOUR, and an extra $300!!!

As ever, thank you to for supporting local non-profits, especially amidst so much uncertainty.

We are so inspired by the support and well wishes. Thank you for being our Dacha. 💛

We have met our $3,500 goal thanks to your incredible support! As always, we are so so grateful for your generosity and community. 💛
..but you know us. We're always trying to go BIGGER.

Can we raise another $500 to subsidize another 33 audience members? Help us meet our S T R E T C H G O A L of $4,000!!

Our fundraising goal this year is $3,500, to help subsidize the pay-what-you-can tickets we offer to every event (and subscription!).

Last season (2024-2025), 60% of our tickets were pay-what-you-can or reduced price. That's 2,000 people having increased access to theater, and over $25,000 in ticket revenue subsidized by Dacha.

That makes our PWYC mission our second-highest budget item, with only artist stipends exceeding it for annual cost.

As we continue to make bigger, bolder, and more expensive art, help us sustain our PWYC mission by donating any amount today.

Give Big 2026 is today, and we're halfway through one of two POWER HOURS!

The organization with the most unique donors will get a bonus $300. Dacha is a two-time People's Choice Award winner for Central Region Organization of the Year — so we're pretty sure we can knock this out of the park with your help!!

Check out the link in our bio and story, and help us raise $3,500 to subsidize our PWYC tickets for DREAM, CARL, DREAM! and DICE: AS YOU LIKE IT.

DREAM, CARL, DREAM! opens June 5th at 12th Avenue Arts: Mainstage, and must close June 27th!

Thanks to your GiveBig donations, tickets will continue to be available on a sliding scale and with a PAY WHAT YOU CAN option to every single show.

Created by and directed by , this interactive production will have you working alongside your mental colleagues during the day, and then sitting back, relaxing, and watching the show once the dreams start to play.

In our 2024-2025 season, 60% tickets were PWYC or Reduced Price. That’s 2,000 people that may otherwise have been unable to attend. For the average theatre, ticket sales make up 30% of their annual revenue.

🫶Our 10th Anniversary Season is all about finding ourselves in community, taking action to manifest our dreams, and making tomorrow the best day yet (even and especially when tomorrow is looking darker and darker).

Early giving for is in full swing! Donate today & help us reach our goal and sustain our sliding scale offerings!

💭DREAM, CARL, DREAM!💭

It’s five minutes ‘till Sleepytime and the latest set of rewrites are even worse than the last. The Director of Dreaming is considering pulling the plug and putting up another rerun of “Teeth Fall Out (School Assembly Version)” but the truth is everyone knows that the stakes are too high for that.

😴In their waking life, Carl seems to be holding it together, but in the depths of their subconscious, Carl knows they could be – want be – so much more. In fact, Carl’s dreams might just be the only connection they still have to their deepest self.

That’s where YOU come in. In this immersive, interactive piece, you will assist the beleaguered neurons of the Dream Department in programming each night’s dreams💤

Work alongside your mental colleagues during the day, and then sit back, relax, and watch the show once the dreams start to play. Plumb the depths of this unknown psyche deep enough and you may even find a way to show Carl what they truly need✨
