Echoes of the Future

The Auditorium Theatre enjoys an incomparable legacy.  Within our walls, Broadway musicals, international ballet, rock concerts, and modern dance are augmented by Louis Sullivan's breathtaking design and Dankmar Adler's flawless acoustics.  This acclaimed history has solidified the theatre's status as one of the world's most respected performing arts venues. 

But the Auditorium Theatre is more than a building...it's a family.  And everyone here is invested in its success--now, and for the future. 

That’s why many of our board members and staff have the Auditorium in their estate plans.  They understand how vital it is to preserve this treasure for future generations. 

Planned giving is a unique chance to make a difference that will affect the lives of countless patrons, families, and arts lovers throughout Chicago.  By providing a gift through a bequest, trust, or annuity, you are ingraining your legacy with the Auditorium’s in perpetuity. 

We hope you will take advantage of the chance to join The Echo Society, a group of compassionate friends who are committed to including the Auditorium Theatre in their wills and trusts.

Planned gifts make a difference to not only the organization…they make a difference to friends like you, too.  They are a means for you to make a substantial gift without depleting your day-to-day income or your retirement assets.  Additionally, planned gifts allow you to provide the vision and strategy for how you would like your contribution applied over time.  

Membership in The Echo Society is extended to those caring individuals who:
  •   Include the Auditorium Theatre in their estate plans

  •   Establish a charitable life-income arrangement (such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust) to benefit the Auditorium Theatre

  •    Name the Auditorium Theatre as a beneficiary of life insurance or stock gift
By joining The Echo Society, you will make a difference.  A planned gift today can ensure our prosperity tomorrow...and will help enjoin your legacy with the Auditorium Theatre, forever.
