LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO AND THE CHAIRPERSON

Dear Friends, In earlier days, this was the time of year when we would raise the curtain and usher in a new season at Ruth Eckerd Hall, unveiling a roster of 100+ shows. Fast forward and that one stage has now expanded to three iconic venues with yearround entertainment offering over 300 shows for all tastes and ages. What hasn’t changed is the quality and variety you can expect from a Ruth Eckerd Hall experience.

We believe this because our community and our industry tell us it’s true. We were honored in September to receive Amplify Clearwater’s 2024 Stellar Award for Nonprofit Excellence.

In October, Ruth Eckerd Hall was named Theater of the Year by the International Entertainment Buyers Association. It is always a thrill to make the short list for this industry award and to win on the eve of Hurricane Milton brought some joy in the storm. Alongside, The BayCare Sound was a finalist for Amphitheater of the Year, truly a feat for its first birthday!

It is our pleasure to draw national attention to the Tampa Bay region as an industry leader.

Celebration is wonderful but in the end, it’s the audience rather than the accolades that truly matter. We know how quickly days fly by, how many activities compete for your attention, and how many choices you have for your entertainment dollars. Your presence is the indicator of how well we fulfill our mission of changing lives through the performing arts.

SUSAN M. CROCKETT PRESIDENT & CEO

DEBBIE WHITE CHAIRPERSON

That mission footprint grows deeper and wider each year through the support of our members.

If you are not currently a member, we invite you to join the Ruth Eckerd Hall family. Ask an usher or visit RuthEckerdHall.com for more information. Your contribution will support accessibility not only for audiences but foster creativity, collaboration and confidence in the more than 58,000 students we serve every year through our education programming!

Thank you for being a part of our success and enjoy the show!
