Help Durham Regional Theatre Keep Giving This Season (Dec. 2016)
DRT is in our 7th season as an intentionally multi-racial and intergenerational community theatre, making a place for exciting talent to shine and grow. Like all small 501(c)3 arts organizations, funding is a steady challenge. Here is a video from some of our shows since 2010 and an appeal to help us keep giving. I promise it will make you feel good.
