2025 Annual Appeal

Join Us in Reaching for the Stars

TRANSFORMATIVE.

There is no word that better captures what this past year has meant at the MRPAC. Every moment of courage onstage, every burst of creativity, every smile in our seats, each was made possible because of you. Our supporters are, and always will be, the shining stars.

Because of your belief and generosity, the MRPAC remained a place where lives were transformed.

BECAUSE OF YOU

Children who once whispered their lines backstage stepped confidently into the spotlight, discovering not only their voices but their courage.
Performers from our inclusive partnerships with Lifeworks and the YMCA felt the joy of being celebrated onstage, knowing that this community truly sees them.
Our youngest artists—just 5 to 8 years old—captured hearts during the MRPAC’s Broadway Kids, lighting up our theater with the kind of wonder that reminds all of us why the arts matter.

OUTSIDE OUR DOORS

Because of your support, our historic theater was renewed. Its freshly transformed exterior now stands as a warm, welcoming beacon to everyone who approaches—an invitation to dream, to belong, to believe. During this season of reflection, these are the moments we cherish. But more importantly, these are the moments you created.

Today, we ask you to continue shaping this legacy by making a gift to our 2025 Annual Appeal.

HELP US SHAPE OUR NEXT CENTURY

As we prepare to celebrate our theater’s 100th birthday in 2027, your support has never been more vital. This treasured space has held nearly a century of stories, memories, families, friendships, and artistic magic. And with your help, it will continue to do so for generations more.

A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE YOUR MARK

This year, we are offering a special way to mark your commitment to our future: With a $500 gift, you can place your family or business name on a commemorative “red carpet” brick at the entrance of the theater. Less than 100 remain—each one a heartfelt symbol of the people who keep this theater alive.

To honor our centennial on the horizon, we have set an ambitious goal: to raise $90,000 by December 31, 2025. Every gift helps ensure that this historic home remains vibrant, welcoming, and accessible to the 30,000 people who come through our doors each year.

BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPPORT

Because of donors like you, the MRPAC recently hosted unforgettable experiences—from Encore: 80 Years of Norton Singers to nationally touring comedian Bob Marley, from Broadway star Adam Pascal to the beloved Rodman Awards. And woven through all of these events were the moments that matter most: children stepping onto a professional stage, families sharing a night together, and community members finding joy, connection, and inspiration.

You make these moments possible.
You are the reason this theater continues to transform lives.

And so today, from the heart, we ask:
Will you help us continue this life-changing work by contributing to the MRPAC’s 2025 Annual Appeal and helping
us reach our $90,000 goal?
Ticket revenue alone cannot sustain this historic space. We rely on the generosity of supporters like you who believe in the
power of the arts and the importance of preserving this treasure.
