Big News from Citadel Theatre: We’re Getting a New Website!
Cue the applause! Thanks to a generous matching grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity’s Tourism Marketing Program, Citadel Theatre has been awarded $11,500 to redesign our website and help promote arts and tourism throughout Illinois.
There’s just one catch… We need your help to unlock the full grant.
Our current website has faithfully served us for more than a decade—but let’s be honest, in internet years, that’s practically prehistoric. While our productions continue to shine on stage, our online experience desperately needs a standing ovation-worthy makeover.
Imagine a website that:
Makes ticket buying effortless
Helps families register for camps and classes with ease Showcases our MainStage productions with stunning visuals Serves patrons better on phones and tablets
Welcomes new visitors discovering Lake Forest and Illinois arts destinations
Makes your Citadel experience begin the moment you go online.
This redesign is more than just a fresh coat of digital paint. It is an investment in accessibility, audience experience, tourism, and the future of live theatre in our community.
Every ticket purchased, every class registration, every donation, and every first impression starts online. We want that experience to feel just as inspiring, creative, and professional as the performances you see on our stage.
Will you help us bring the curtain up on a brand-new Citadel Theatre website?
Your donation today will help us meet the grant match and create a modern, user-friendly website that serves our audiences for years to come.
Whether you give $25, $100, or more, every contribution moves us one step closer to opening night for our new digital home.
Please donate today and help us build the future of Citadel Theatre—online and on stage.
Thank you for believing in the power of live theatre, arts education, and the cultural vitality of our community.
