When you support Orpheus, you can see your impact.

​

Each production requires between $5,000–$7,500 in costumes and $5,500–$9,000 in sets to bring our stories to life on stage.
And something as specific as $1,200 puts microphones on at least three performers, ensuring their voices reach every seat in the theatre.

​

Your support helps us build entire worlds, from the first sketch to the final curtain call.

​

But what you don’t see is just as important.

​

Your donation keeps our creative home running, providing a space where hundreds of volunteers rehearse, build, learn, and connect every week. It ensures our facilities are safe, our tools are up to date, and our productions continue to grow in quality year after year.

​

It also fuels something bigger than any single show.

​

Orpheus is powered by over 500 volunteers annually. Your support helps provide training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities that strengthen not only our stage, but theatre across Ottawa. It creates a welcoming, inclusive community, with a place people return to again and again because it feels like home.

 

And it opens doors.

​

Your generosity helps make arts education accessible through low-cost programming, bursaries, and Pay-What-You-Can options, so that young people, regardless of financial barriers, can discover confidence, creativity, and belonging through the arts.

​

For over 120 years, Orpheus has been part of Ottawa’s cultural fabric. Your donation ensures it continues with affordable, high-quality musical theatre, created by the community, for the community.

​

Wherever your gift goes, it’s making a real difference — on stage, behind the scenes, and in people’s lives.

​

Tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more.
