Actor's Express continues to seek donations to raise $200,000 by the end of July to ensure the gay-inclusive theater company remains open for its 24th season. So far, the theater company has met 78 percent of its goal, meaning some $40,000 is still needed. As part of the fundraising campaign, a handy guide was emailed today to supporters to let them know what their money can actually buy.

The Atlanta-based gay-favorite theater, named this year's Best Theater by GA Voice readers, faced dire financial straits in February when openly gay artistic director Freddie Ashley put out a "life or death" plea to raise $200,000 to keep the theater open.

In April, the theater's board chair sent out a letter saying the theater had raised $50,000 but still had a far way to go to ensure the theater ― which has produced such hits as "Judas Kiss" and "Xanadu" — remains open.
