Every contribution counts!

At Out of Pocket, Inc., we believe in the power of live performance to bring people together, spark emotion, and celebrate creativity. But creating meaningful theatre takes more than ticket sales - it takes a community that believes in the value of the arts.

By giving to Out of Pocket, you’re investing in homegrown theatre that gives back to its community and helps foster Rochester’s vibrant cultural life.
