The Elysian Theater is proud to be a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. There are so many ways to support us in our mission to support innovative artists devising original and unconventional live comedy, theater, and performance art. We want the theater to be an exciting and inclusive space where audiences can expect to walk in any night of the week to see unfiltered and un-sanitized hilarity, along with gutsy, galling, emotive, surprising stuff. A theater of yes over no, where there will be hits and there may be misses, but never boredom. To make this vision a reality and to ensure that we can continue as a 501(c)3 nonprofit to thrive and build community for years to come, we need your support! Aside from ticket sales and rental fees, we rely on the generosity of individual donors and public and private organizations to continue our programming that caters to the needs of our eclectic creative community here in Los Angeles.

  • We accept tax-deductible donations here.

    When you make a charitable donation to The Elysian Theater, you’re supporting the next generation of comedians creating boundary-pushing, uncategorizable new work.

    We also accept tax-deductible in-kind donations. We’re currently accepting in-kind donations in the form of hardware, software, furniture, office supplies, and tech equipment.

    If you are interested in making a donation via check, money-order, cash, bitcoin, or other form of tender, please email hello@elysiantheater.com.

  • We are proud to have been awarded the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant from Californians for the Arts, The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant through the SBA, and the California Venue Relief Grant from the California Office of the Small Business Advocate.

    Thank you to all the comedians, performers, audiences, volunteers, and community members who supported us in our first year of existence!
