SUPPORT MTA

MTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that enriches the lives of hundreds of children in our community each year through instruction in the arts while producing amazing shows for our patrons. Our high quality productions average over $10,000 each and that does not include operating expenses such as rent, utilities, etc.

Income from tuition and ticket sales are not enough to keep our theater viable and MTA would not be able to survive without donations from our supporters and the members of the Stellar Supporters, Theatrical Champions, Standing Ovation Sponsors, and Encore Benefactors.

Scroll down below to see the multiple ways that you can donate and/or support MTA.


DONATE TO GENERAL FUND

We can always use more support. Please click the “Donate to MTA” button below to make a tax deductible contribution now to our general fund that is used for production-related costs (royalites, props, sets, etc.) and more!


DONATE TO THE LYLE KISHBAUGH SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Lyle had a passion for the theatre which started in high school and spanned throughout his life. He was able to pass on this passion to Jessica, his beautiful, giving, and kind daughter. Lyle had the honor of being one of the founding board members of MTA and performed in several MTA productions, two of which he had the thrill to perform with Jessica, Peter Pan and Our Town.

Evon, his caring, hard-working wife, and also a Board Member of MTA as well as the Box Office Manager, started a scholarship fund at MTA in Lyle’s name which will enable us to provide scholarships for participants who have financial need and might otherwise not be able to participate. Our goal is to be able to provide one Lyle Kishbaugh Scholarship per show during our 10 show season.

If you would like to contribute to the scholarship fund, you can use the donate button below or mail a check payable to Musical Theatre of Anthem, to 42201 N 41st Drive, Building 1, Anthem, AZ 85086. Please note the “Lyle Kishbaugh Scholarship Fund” and thank you for your support in helping to remember this wonderful man who is dearly missed.
