Make an Impact
Subsidized artist rental fees cover just 68% of the cost of keeping Neighborhood House open to the public.
Neighborhood House has served populations in need and the immediate Old City community since opening its doors in 1915. Today, Neighborhood House is a performance venue and gathering place through which Christ Church Preservation Trust supports arts programming and cross-disciplinary performing artists through subsidized rehearsal and performance rentals.
Your donations help keep these rates low so that artists can continue to imagine new and experimental works in our ADA-accessible theater and throughout the broader historic Christ Church campus.
Why Donate
