Sustaining Circle
The Tull Family Theater, a grassroots community initiative, was built through the contributions of thousands of individuals who value the arts as a way to build and engage communities. The Theater’s mission is to strengthen cultural, educational and entertainment experiences in the region northwest of Pittsburgh.
Offerings include new releases, classic films, Science on Screen®, and cultural and sensory friendly screenings. Free community events provide live ballet and music of all genres. Year-round free programming extends the experience of the arts to youth living in nearby underserved communities—transportation included. Special free programs for Senior Citizens have drawn capacity audiences from four counties.
To provide this high-quality array of offerings as a young nonprofit, the Theater relies on the leadership and generosity of 100+ families who made multi-year commitments to support the Theater’s first few years. They are the Sustaining Circle.
We thank all of these individuals determined to establish the Theater as a film-driven cultural institution serving our region for years to come. The Sustaining Circle members are:
