In 2025, TSF will be celebrating 40 incredible seasons of bringing world-class theatre to East Texas. As part of this celebration, we are calling on our alumni of the Festival to give a special donation to help secure our future. If TSF played a role in your career, we invite you to give what you are able to give- however large or small a donation- to honor your time spent in Kilgore with the Texas Shakespeare Festival. This video was put together after interviewing some loyal TSF alums and company members.

Your donation will be added  to the Raymond Caldwell Endowment Fund, which is designed to provide a financial safety net to help sustain operations of the Festival and supplement the inevitable ebb and flow of annual fundraising outcomes. The corpus of the endowment will never be invaded; only a portion of the interest earned will be available for use.

 

Contributions to the Endowment are managed by the highly respected Texas Presbyterian Foundation, headquartered in Dallas, with more than $1 billion in total assets. The fund is an endowment in perpetuity, ensuring that Raymond’s dream for live professional theatre in East Texas will continue to flourish and grow.

In addition to a monetary gift or if a monetary gift is not an option for you, we invite TSF Alumni to help celebrate our 40th season by sharing a memory. You can share by creating a brief video or written memory writing a blurb and sending it to TSF Foundation Endowment Chair Christina Anderson, who produced the enclosed video after interviewing some loyal TSF alums and company members. You can send your brief video or written message to cca@andersonpartners.org. Thank you!
