CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
City Springs Theatre Company (CSTC), the resident theatre company of the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center, is one of the fastest-growing theatre companies in the U.S.
Since its inception in 2018, CSTC has served over 300,000 patrons at its mainstage productions and over 150,000 students through its education programs.
This growth is exceptional; however, it has strained the company’s resources and infrastructure.
In order to ensure its continued growth and long-term sustainability, CSTC has launched an 18-month FIVE million DOLLAR capital campaign.
Funding from this campaign will be used to invest in the infrastructure that is essential to our next phase of growth by properly equipping the theatre company and enabling both immediate cost reductions and sustainable savings in our operations. In addition, funds will be used to establish an operating reserve and an endowment fund. These efforts are necessary to continue City Springs Theatre Company’s ascendance as a major regional theatre.
Remarkably, in just seven years CSTC has established itself as a leading player in the performing arts and arts education scene in Sandy Springs and metro Atlanta. In a post-pandemic era when theatres all over the country have closed, CSTC has managed to thrive and establish itself as a leading regional theatre with a national reputation and influence.
We were able to prosper and grow through a combination of high quality and innovative programming, judicious cost control, and strong patron and institutional support. Unlike many regional theaters, CSTC’s subscriber base has grown over pre-pandemic levels, and our future is bright.
We are proud of our successes and humbled by the level of support we receive from our generous donors. However, Broadway-quality entertainment is very expensive to produce, and our entertainment programming and education programs have simply outgrown the infrastructure that was established during our start-up period. The ability to deliver our high-quality programs, support continued growth, and enjoy long-term sustainability requires increased levels of investment by both our individual and institutional donors.
This capital campaign is necessary and long overdue. It will help ensure CSTC’s continued contributions to the performing arts and arts education in metro Atlanta and beyond for many years to come.
As of October 1, 2025, we have already secured pledges for over 67% of the campaign total from individuals in Sandy Springs.
We ask that you please consider joining them to support this initiative.
Together, we can ensure that City Springs Theatre Company continues to grow, remains accessible and is financially strong while creating a lasting legacy of exceptional performances and educational experiences that enrich our entire community.
