Your contribution helps us bring a world of theater to St. Louis. Since 2005, Upstream has produced plays from places as far-flung as Argentina and Australia. Two-thirds of our shows have been U.S. premieres, and all are chosen for local impact. Thank you for your support!

Engagement Opportunities | Individuals & Foundations


VOYAGERS are the backbone of Upstream’s work: Taking an interest in Upstream’s future, voyagers contribute to sustainability and long-term envisioning. As a donor, you become more than a passive observer: you become a part of the action-- invited to exclusive events like the first read-through, the season announcement salon and cast/crew celebrations. $10,000+
TRAILBLAZERS dedicate their donation to the success of a particular production. Support in this capacity moves a show from surviving to thriving: allowing us to bring the best possible work to the St. Louis community. A producing sponsor is a part of the team, as essential as our designers, the costumes, or our AEA actors (but you can hide in the shadows)! $5,000 +

AMBASSADORS sustain Upstream’s work on a monthly basis. Committing to an ongoing monthly donation allows Upstream’s flag to keep flying, even during months when we’re not producing work. Your dedication is inspiring! $1000 +

Becoming part of the CREW means offering support for Upstream in whatever way you can. Yes, monetary donation are crucial but we also need temporary housing for guest artists, bottles of bubbly for opening night, a connection at a STL restaurant for an event. Tell us of your unique offering! $100 + (can be in-kind)

VOLUNTEERS show up to get their hands dirty. Maybe you are interested in checking us out, maybe you want to connect to the artists working on a production, maybe you need a free ticket to a show: Come on down and get involved!
