ACT I HIGHLIGHTS

Act 1 was completed in January 2023 and included a construction of a new theatre, complete with our first-ever orchestra pit and fly loft. Grander sets. Plusher seating. Enhanced sound and lighting. Larger dressing rooms. More backstage space. More restrooms. Upgraded concession area. Expanded community programs and classes. And an open-air entrance near a garden to greet you. It all adds up to a modern theater โ€“ a treasured gathering place for our community.

SEAT SPONSORS

These supporters have sponsored a seat in the new auditorium. These personally engraved seats range from $1,500 to $5,000 donation. Seats will continue to be available for the duration of Act 2: Capital Campaign for A New Arts Complex.
