As you’re reading this letter, the Mineral Point Opera House sits quietly between shows. But if you close your eyes, you can almost hear it—the laughter of children discovering theater for the first time, the applause thundering through 110-year-old walls, the nervous excitement of a performer taking the stage.
Keeping performances like these alive takes your partnership.
You may have heard about our membership program, which brings performances to our stage. You might know about this year’s special Encore campaign, which brought a new marquee to town and is restoring the stunning historic exterior. Both are important. Both make a difference.
Without the annual appeal, the stage for those performances goes dark. Without it, the building lies fallow and empty. The annual appeal funds daily operations, the lights that make magic happen, the building maintenance, the staff who greet every visitor, the insurance that protects this treasure. It’s the foundation that everything else stands on.
A gift of $50 helps provide the supplies that keep our programs running. $250 helps fund the lighting, sound, and technical support that bring every performance to life. And $500 or more helps keep the Opera House staffed and our operations running well, so we can serve our community with excellence.
Please, send in your most generous contribution as soon as possible. Use this downloadable form or click the Donate Now button to give online. Your gift will be put to work right away!
For more than a century, our theatre has thrived thanks to loyal patrons who believe in its magic. Thank you for helping us carry its legacy forward, one season at a time.
With deep gratitude,
The Board of Directors
Mineral Point Opera House
