Welcome to
The Gate Theater Group
Northern Thailand's First English-language theater company
The Gate Theater Fundraiser
The Gate Theater, Northern Thailand's first English-language theater, and Indiana’s first international theater company, is facing another major crisis. Recent funding cuts, a direct result of the current American administration's decision to slash support to organizations that support the arts, have forced our long-time sponsors, BABSEACLE and Legal House, to withdraw their vital support. This sudden loss of funding has placed our 19th season in a critical situation, threatening the very existence of The Gate Theater. Since 1997, we've delivered powerful, thought-provoking stories, fostering profound cultural exchange and enriching our community. Now, this vital cultural institution is at risk.
Two Locations, One Vision: The Gate Theater Project
Founded in 1997 in Chiang Mai and incorporated in Indiana in 2018 as a 501(c)(3), The Gate Theater bridges international and local communities, highlighting its unique significance. As Northern Thailand’s first English-language theater, it’s a vital artistic hub.
We need your help to prevent this cultural loss.
We're urgently seeking $8,500 to save our 19th season. This lifeline will allow us to stage our 19th season featuring 4 plays: The Exonerated and The Gin Game in both Thailand and Gary, Indiana, and "Cage Birds" and the premiere of Stephan Turner's new play, Restive Souls in Chiang Mai. Due to lower operating costs in Thailand, this amount covers our entire season—a sum that wouldn't even fund a single American production. Your generosity will directly fund venue rentals, set design, licensing, and equipment, ensuring the survival of English-language theater in Northern Thailand and honoring Stephan Turner's legacy.

Please join our campaign to keep the curtain raised. Donate today, share our campaign, and help us ensure that The Gate Theater's 19th season thrives. Your generosity will ensure that the voices of The Gate Theater will continue to resonate for generations to come.

Raise The Gate UPDATE!!
The momentum for "Raise The Gate" has been incredible!
A huge thank you to the 50 amazing supporters who've donated and shared our campaign. Your generosity has already pushed us to 67% of our goal!
For those new to our community, The Gate Theater has been a cornerstone of Northern Thailand’s Chaing Mai arts scene for the past 18 years. In 2015 we expanded our vision by incorporating as a non-profit tax exempt organization in Gary Indiana, the home of The Gate Theater’s founder Stephan Turner. We are dedicated to bringing thought-provoking and engaging theatrical experiences to our audiences, showcasing both established and emerging talent.
As we look forward to our 19th season, we have some exciting plans in store! We're aiming to present a diverse lineup of productions, including documentary, comedy, and drama. We also plan to expand our community engagement through student matinee performances, workshops for aspiring actors, and post-show discussions with the cast and creative team.
Reaching our goal of $8,500 will be instrumental in making these plans a reality. We're so close – just $2,820 away from making our 19th season at The Gate Theater truly shine! Every single dollar you contribute makes a real difference. Please keep sharing our campaign and help us reach that finish line. Together, we can make sure The Gate continues to be a vital and inspiring part of our communities in both South East Asia and Northwest Indiana for many years to come!
