Impact

Here at The Hopeful Theatre Project our mission is clear - to use our ticket sales as a way to give back to causes close to our heart. We currently donate 75% of all ticket proceeds to our beneficiary for a production. The remaining 25% of ticket sales goes towards The Hopeful Theatre Project so we can continue producing shows that make a difference.

75%

Many people ask - "How do you select a beneficiary for a production?" We do it one of two ways - we either select a show and use the themes portrayed to match with a beneficiary OR we select a beneficiary with a great cause and pair it with a show. We try to highlight important aspects of beneficiaries through the stories we tell on stage.

10 different beneficiaries across several genres locally, nationally, and worldwide.

Our most recent production, Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, was our 5th annual Valentine’s Production for Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth and Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. Performed at the historic Kalita Humphreys Theater, the show welcomed over 1,000 patrons and provided 304 nights at RMH for a family with a critically ill child a place to stay completely free of charge.. In addition to a monetary impact, we were also able to fill their newly renovated House libraries with books donated by our patrons and actors during Belle’s Book Drive.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast broke all Hopeful records with an astounding $15,000+ raised for our beneficiary.

The Addams Family was Hopeful's first ever completely sold out run. It also marked the introduction of our first sensory friendly and ASL interpreted performance.

The Music Man

Save the Music Foundation | June 2023

The Music Man was performed by our largest cast at Hopeful so far, with 32 actors ranging in ages 6-60+.

After the success of our first production, Two Acts of Love, The Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth asked if we could partner with them annually to raise love for their mission. RMHFW's mission is to offer a supportive, home-like community that eases burdens for seriously ill children and their families. We immediately said yes and look forward to kicking off every one of our seasons with a Valentine's Production to benefit them!
