Become a New Founder of Luna Stage

Create a Lasting Legacy

Become a New Founder and Create Your Legacy Now

For the next year, Luna Stage will provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for major supporters to become New Founders of Luna Stage, a life-long designation that will be recognized by a permanent plaque in the theatre lobby and ongoing inclusion in Luna Stage’s program books and other printed materials.

An inscription on this plaque symbolizes your dedication to the future of Luna Stage and the performing arts. It also makes a great gift for the arts lover who has everything, to commemorate an anniversary or other special event, to memorialize a loved one in a meaningful way, or to show your corporation’s lasting commitment to the arts.

Your donation will play a significant role in supporting the mission of Luna Stage and the ongoing presentation of the finest in cultural arts at our center.

The New Founder Category will be permanently closed December 31, 2011.

For a full listing of additional New Founder gift opportunities such as naming rights, production sponsorship, and association with education and other initiatives, please call Mona Hennessy at 973.395.5551.

Luna Stage is a 501(c)3 non-profit arts organization, and your donation is tax-deductible up to the amount allowed by law.  Bricks and seat naming are on a first-come, first-served basis and will be assigned in order of purchase.  Luna Stage will contact you via email to collect the inscription you wish to feature on your brick or seat plaque. Certificates will be mailed within 6-12 weeks of purchase, and the lobby chart listing the seat donors will be installed by May 15, 2011.  Please note: this special opportunity is to name a seat only, and does not in any way affect subscriptions or ticketing, or guarantee you a designated seat at performances.

Our New Home

Luna Stage’s new home is located at 555 Valley Street in West Orange and is easily accessible by car or rail from all points in New Jersey and NYC. The new theatre, adapted from an existing manufacturing building, has been specially designed to meet the needs of Luna Stage and its audiences. The facility features a 99-seat black-box theatre and a 40-seat studio theatre. $825,000 of the cost of construction has been donated by JP Morgan Chase Bank as part of its ongoing commitment to the Oranges. The cost of finishing and equipping the space remains with Luna Stage, who relies on Luminaries like you for vital support.
