The Phoenicia Playhouse has an exciting year end fundraising challenge to meet and we need your help to get there!
This year, our Year-End Match Campaign aims to raise general operating funds to support all of our exciting 2025 season programming. To help make that happen, our board of directors will match every dollar up to $10,000 in individual contributions!
The Phoenicia Playhouse is home to the Shandaken Theatrical Society, a not-for-profit organization with nearly 50 years of dedication to bringing live theater, films, music, arts education, and youth workshops to our vibrant mountain community. Housed in a beautiful updated historic building constructed in 1887, our theater offers an unforgettable blend of tradition and creativity.
In our current 2024 season, the Playhouse has been an increasingly popular entertainment destination for thousands of theatergoers, featuring the theatrical thriller Wait Until Dark and memorable musicals like The Wizard of Oz and Always…Patsy Cline, as well as movies, musical performances and readings. Our annual summer youth programs offer young people unique opportunities to appreciate the magic of music and theater. We are continuously working to expand our programs, from staging diverse performances to hosting workshops, educational events, and special community gatherings. We strive to create opportunities that enable local artists, actors, playwrights, and volunteers to showcase their unique talents on our stage.
All of this requires lots of energy – and money. The Playhouse works hard to keep ticket prices low; many of our programs don’t show a profit. We’ve been fortunate to obtain some government grants, but they don’t cover all our operating expenses. That’s why the Playhouse board is asking for your help and offering to match your contributions to support an ambitious season of new programming in 2025. Composed of all local residents, the board believes passionately in the role of the Playhouse as a cultural hub and sees the value in reaching new audiences, engaging more deeply with the community, and exploring new ways for the theater to contribute to Phoenicia's ongoing renaissance.
By donating today, you’ll help us nurture creativity, enrich local culture, and ensure the arts continue to thrive in our region. Every gift, big or small, makes a difference. Together, let’s keep the magic of the arts alive!Together, we can make the Phoenicia Playhouse a place where creativity and community thrive.
Every gift and contribution to the Phoenicia Playhouse from our supporters gives us the opportunity to further enrich the cultural life of our community. The Phoenicia Playhouse is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, all contributions are tax deductible.
