As a grassroots nonprofit, the Theater exists through the efforts and contributions of thousands of supporters.
Since opening in February 2017, the Theater has:
Screened more than 230 different films; a mix of new releases, independent and foreign films, documentaries, classics, educational and cultural offerings.
Attracted over 100,000 people for screenings and events, with patrons from Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Washington counties, West Virginia, Ohio and beyond.
Welcomed nearly 1,500 children from nearby underserved communities to watch major releases at no cost to them, providing transportation along with free admission and concessions.
Pioneered sensory friendly screenings in this region for those with autism and special needs, offering new, much-appreciated cultural options that now continue, thanks to external funding.
Presented events for senior citizens, featuring a cultural film and panel of experts from various fields.
These are just a few of the ways the Theater has impacted the region and made a difference in people’s lives.
Sustaining Circle members are a major force behind the Theater. Their leadership and generosity make what we do possible, creating cultural opportunities now and for future generations, enabling those who live beyond the city—including those in need—to access arts options.
