What your Donations do

Provides interactive workshops, outreach activities, and opportunities for seniors, youth, and other underserved communities to engage with the arts.

Helps us maintain our beautiful, historic theatre so the curtain goes up night after night.

Your donation helps the Free School Series feature professional performances and introduce students from the earliest of ages, to be engaged and inspired while instilling a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

Keeps costs affordable for local community partners to use our theatre, such Symphony New Brunswick, Saint John Theatre Company, Gala Ballet, the Chinese Cultural Association, NBYO and other nonprofit organizations.

We couldn’t do this without the kindness and support of Imperial Friends. With your help, we continue a legacy to engage, enrich, and inspire all walks of life in Southern New Brunswick and beyond.

Your donation helps to bridge the gap between the money raised by ticket sales and the actual costs of presenting an event.
