What is the Charles D. Kakuk Legacy Society?

And Why Should You Consider Joining It?

By Tawnie Thompson, Development Manager

Named for the late Charles D. Kakuk, long-time Next Act Theatre Managing Director, Next Act’s Legacy Society recognizes individuals who have made a lasting impact on Next Act Theatre through generous planned giving. Bequests received from Legacy Society members go towards a long-term investment fund that will continue to support Next Act’s mission to provide intimate and thought-provoking theatre to Milwaukee audiences for many years to come.

Legacy Society members receive a variety of benefits, including:

• Exclusive invitations to behind-the-scenes events, including first rehearsal celebrations for each Next Act Production
• A voucher for 2 free drinks at every Next Act Performance
• Your name listed as a member of the Charles D. Kakuk Legacy Society in Playbills and on Next Act’s website (if you wish)

There are a variety of ways to join the Legacy Society and secure the future of Next Act for years to come. A gift could be designated in your will, a Charitable Remainder Trust could be set up, Next Act could be designated as a life insurance beneficiary, or included in other retirement plans.
