Like you, we here at Act II believe in the power of live theater to not only entertain, but to build community. For the last 30 seasons, we’ve acted on that belief by producing world class plays and musicals at ticket prices that are accessible to everyone. Remembering us in your estate plans with a planned gift will empower us to honor our commitment to that mission for the next 30-years.
There are many ways to support Act II with a planned gift, and we’d love to help you determine how best to do so in keeping with your financial goals. The process is easy and can start with a simple phone call or email. Reach out to our Director of External Relations Michael Jastroch (215-654-0200, michael@act2.org) anytime to learn more or fill out our online letter of intent* to get the ball rolling.

WHAT IS THE LEGACY CIRCLE?
Supporters who have made an intention to include Act II Playhouse in their estate plans are invited to join the John J. Braithwaite, Sr. Legacy Circle. The Legacy Circle is open to all individuals who have named us in their estate plans or created an endowment for our benefit.
My father, John J. Braithwaite, Sr. was always my biggest champion. But that love and commitment didn’t stop with me, it extended to his entire community.
As a tireless and lifelong supporter of the arts, he believed in the power of theatre to entertain, connect, and inspire. In lieu of flowers, his final request was for his friends and family to make a gift to Act II, which was just the kind of place he believed were the glue that held us together.
I’m inviting you to further honor his legacy by joining the John J. Braithwaite, Sr. Legacy Circle at Act II by making a planned gift through your estate. Legacy Giving like this not only helps cement your legacy as a patron of the arts, but will ensure our ability to produce the incredible productions you love in the incredible home we all love for decades to come.
With gratitude
