SUPPORT US!
Studio5 began as the brainchild of Béa and Steve Rashid in 2016 to support the creative community they love.
It continues to thrive as a multidisciplinary performing arts venue in the heart of Evanston.
Our Goal
We welcome you to support Studio5 into our next season … and beyond. Join us! Together we will make art happen. As you might imagine, it is challenging to sustain our operation with ticket sales alone. Additional financial resources help us expand Studio5’s technical capabilities and allow us to present more high quality performances by extraordinary artists. Donations are tax deductible.

Friends of Studio5 (any giving level)
No matter the size, every contribution goes a long way to help support your favorite performers and artists working in and around Chicago.
Be a VIP
(500 dollars and above)
Much of the activity at Studio5 happens behind the scenes, like programming, promotion, social media, audio and video production, and securely archiving our performances. When you become a VIP you are helping in all these efforts. Plus, you receive VIP seating for four at the performance of your choice!
Sponsor a Studio 5 Seat
(1000 dollars and above)
Sponsoring a seat means that you’re helping us in a significant way to leave a mark on the cultural production right here in Evanston, and gives us a hand supporting artists in and around Chicago. Your name is permanently inscribed on one of our theater seats, and you will receive VIP seating for four at the performance of your choice.
Sponsoring an evening of music / dance
(2500 / 5000 dollars respectively and above)
Sponsoring a show with us goes toward artist compensation as well as the costs of production, staffing and booking, and helps make it possible for us to attract and present larger and more high-profile performers. Your name will be inscribed on one of our seats and you will receive special recognition for your sponsorship, as well as VIP seating at the performance.
