We encourage you to be a part of Circle X's commitment to high-quality, boldly theatrical new work in your Los Angeles community. Because we believe theatre should be accessible for all people, we subsidize our tickets and offer several discounts for every performance. Circle X makes only a third of its annual revenue from ticket sales. Please give: help us continue producing excellent theatre available to all audiences for less than the price of a movie ticket.

Circle X is looking for sponsors for our 2008/2009 season of exciting new plays. Click the "Donate Now" button to make an instant contribution through our secure server! Donations in all amounts will be recognized online and in programs throughout the year. You may donate anonymously or contribute in honor of a friend or loved one.

Your contributions help us maintain our high performance standards and keep ticket prices affordable for all patrons. Circle X offers weekly "pay-what-you-can" performances for every production. We give $5 tickets to college students at all performances and offer reduced prices through Play 7, GoldStar and LA Stage Tix. Since 1996, we have donated a portion of the proceeds from each mainstage production to a local charitable organization.

  • The award-winning creative teams behind [Inside] the Ford hits The Shaggs, The Brothers Karamazov and Eurydice stage the world premiere of the latest from Jim Leonard (The Diviners). Circle X is proud to participate in the Winter Partnership Program at [Inside] the Ford (see www.fordamphitheater.org for season information). On the eve of The Civil War, sixteen-year-old Martha finds herself pregnant and ostracized. As Martha travels through and fights in the Civil War, she settles on one incontrovertible fact: She will not raise her baby in a blood-soaked, violent country. Martha stays pregnant for over a century, until she arrives in San Francisco in 1967. For a moment Martha thinks she's landed in heaven, but before she knows it half the world is at war once again. How can she bring her child into a world like this?
