Signature's Gift Registry!
In these difficult economic times, it's understandable that not everyone can make an outright gift of cash. As a thriving 501(c)(3) business celebrating our 20th birthday this year, we have ongoing office supply and production needs and appreciate the gift of everything from computers, furniture in pristine condition, office supplies, vintage clothing and accessories.
Don't know what to donate? Signature's top wish list is outlined below.
You can have these items shipped to Signature Theatre's Development Office at 4200 Campbell Avenue, Arlington, VA 22206 or hand-deliver them to Signature so we can thank you in person! We will send you a letter acknowledging your donation for your tax records. All gifts in-kind are fully tax-deductible at the fair market value of the item.
If you are interested in learning more about what in-kind gifts can be accepted, please contact Emily Hill, Development Manager at (571) 527-1828 or development@signature-theatre.org. Due to limited storage space, not all items can be accepted, so please contact Development if you are considering donating any item that is not listed below.
THANK YOU for your unique support of Signature!
SIGNATURE'S WISH LIST
Please click on the item name below to be linked to a detailed description of the item
Gifts for Under $100
STAPLE "GUN" for the Scene Shop*
Sets have to be put up and taken down quickly, but remain sturdy throughout a 6 to 8 week run of performances – what's the secret? Staples! Drop off your new or slightly used staple guns (1" Narrow or Medium Crown). Heavy-duty staples are also welcome!
OPTICAL COMPUTER MOUSE (Quantity 5)
Roller ball mice are a thing of the past! Keep our computer operations up-to-date and free of pesky lint by donating your new or used optical mice. Multiple items will be readily accepted!
COPY PAPER for Scripts
Sure, everyone uses it – but no one department uses it more than the Production and Artistic Team! Each actor, designer, assistant, and technician needs a copy of every script we do – and some, like the Stage Management team, need more than one copy. Help keep us ahead of the demand by donating reams and cases of paper – it's a little thing that makes a big difference.
MANILA FOLDERS to Archive Sheet Music and Files
Storing 20 years of scripts and sheet music saves Signature money and time by keeping things on site for quick reference. Help us stay organized and keep those scripts within arms reach by dropping off file folders of all sizes and colors. New and slightly used folders accepted!
3-RING BINDERS for scripts and business archives
Heavy-duty 2-inch and 3-inch sizes preferable
These versatile office supplies are a favorite of many departments! The artistic department uses them to bind scripts for actors and designers, our marketing team assembles binders full of press clippings and advertisements, and our business department uses them to archive paperwork. Drop off your new or good-condition used binders today.
PRINTER AND COPIER INK
Want to make a little gift that will be put right to use – try ink! Signature uses cartons of printer ink each year for designs, scripts, and other presentation materials – on a multitude of printers. Please help us defray the cost by buying us the birthday present of ink! Dispose of a printer recently and still have leftover ink? Check the list and see if we match!

BAND SAW for the Scene Shop*
One of the most versatile saws in any scene shop, the band saw is a one-stop tool – by just changing the blades, you can cut anything from wood to metal pipes, straight lines to curves. Donate a like-new floor standing band saw like the model linked above and the carpenters will be singing your praises!
WOOD SHAPER for the Scene Shop*
The theatres at Signature are so intimate that you can see every detail on the set from any seat in the house. Help the hardworking folks in the scene shop with the fine detailed work, by donating an industrial Wood Shaper.
