Support The Civic!

My journey at the Rochester Civic Theatre began back in 2018 with Shrek: The Musical when I was asked by a friend if I wanted to help run the dragon puppet for the show. Little did I know that would open the door to my being hired in January of 2019 as we were getting ready to open the Diary of Anne Frank. Since then I've been involved in a smattering of productions but most importantly, keeping the box office running.

The most shocking realization I had was finding out that ticket sales only cover roughly 40% of the operating costs of a theatre. Most of the funding comes from grants and donations.

We now live in a world where streaming services are most people's primary form of entertainment. It's harder than ever to get people out of the house and into the audience. But there's something about the magic of live theatre. To be in the same room as these characters as they sing, dance, or monologue a few feet away from you.

I'd love people to join me in support of the Rochester Civic Theatre to keep the theatre magic running strong for another 75 years and beyond!
