Missed the Boat Theatre is a 501(c)(3) organization. Your donations are tax-deductible.

In the five years since Fr. Kyle Kowalcyzk and Mary Shaffer sat at a coffee shop and decided to produce a musical with their spare change, Missed the Boat Theatre has grown (despite Covid!) into a thriving community theatre producing professional-quality work.

Because we experienced such instant success, we forged a double-edged sword: MTBT became defined by its artistic excellence, participant enthusiasm, and packed audiences, yet we didn’t have the infrastructure to sustain the demand for our mission.

In the past several years, we have seen tremendous growth in our infrastructure, support system, and vision. In order to continue to grow into the community of Catholic artists we feel called to become, we need the support of those who believe in our mission as much as we do.

We are currently in the midst of our 2025 campaign; to learn more about it, click here.
