We’re less than a week away from Erie Gives, and I hope you’ll mark the calendar to make a contribution to support YOUR Erie Playhouse on Tuesday, August 8 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.!

In my first two months as Executive Director, it’s been so gratifying to see people returning to the theatre! The pandemic impacted performing arts organizations deeply, and we are so grateful to see audiences coming back!

The unique connection between artists and audiences is perhaps the most important ingredient in live theatre, and we’re thrilled to offer a season of world-class shows like our current production of THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL and upcoming mainstage titles, BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL, MISERY, and IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Plus, our Youtheatre program is thriving, with DISNEY’S DESCENDANTS coming up soon!

It’s all made possible through the support of loyal community members like you! From the magic you see on stage, to the costs of maintaining our 75-year-old venue, every gift we receive supports our mission to educate, entertain, inspire, transform, and support communities through theatre. Your support makes it all possible!

Please consider making a donation on Tuesday, August 8 at www.eriegives.org from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. You can also give by check, by mail, or by gift of stock or IRA by Monday, August 7 (Read more here).  

Thanks for supporting the Erie Playhouse, and we’ll see you soon at the theatre!
