Want to Support Our Mission?

As of Thursday, September 4th, 2025, Red Nightfall Dance Theatre has formally submitted our application for

501(c)(3) nonprofit status to the IRS.

what your gift supports

Our 2025-2026 season unfolds the CRONE universe through three distinct performances, each building toward our full-length immersive production and film. Each chapter deepens the mythology while exploring timeless themes of healing, transformation, and the sacred feminine.

Ticket sales cover roughly 50% of our production costs, which means we rely on the generosity of our creative community to bridge the gap and make each transformative performance possible.

Here's where your support goes:

• Artist Salaries – $8,000

• Production Design – $3,500

• Short Film Production & Editing - $3,500 - $5,000

• Costume Design & Production – $3,000

• Dancer Training – $2,400

• Marketing & Promotion – $1,800

• Documentation – $800

• Stage Crew Support – $700

Every donation directly nurtures transformative art and honors the labor behind these sacred offerings.
