The Hammer Theatre Center needs to begin raising significant funds to continue offering the programming it is known for, due to increased costs and SJSU budget cuts. This year we have a goal to raise $10,000 from individuals in our year-end campaign. We hope you will join us!
The Hammer Theatre Center is a vibrant venue offering diverse entertainment to over 53,000 community members and SJSU students annually. Managed by San Jose State University since 2016, the Hammer features live theater, music, dance, comedy, film, and more—capturing the creative, diverse spirit of Silicon Valley. Our interdisciplinary productions, like 1984 and The Kite Runner, inspire community engagement and spark meaningful discussions.
The Hammer also provides invaluable hands-on learning to 700+ SJSU students each year, where they gain experience in all aspects of live production alongside professionals. These opportunities equip students from various majors with transferable skills for any career.
Yet, producing these events incurs high costs. Your year-end gift directly supports these productions, enabling us to offer top-tier performances that enrich our community while empowering future graduates. Your donation, large or small, ensures that we can continue to make a lasting impact on high-quality arts in the South Bay.
