Welcome!
We are celebrating the 100 Anniversary of the Powers Theater (once known as the Keeney and the Elmira Theater) for the entire year! We hope you will join us for performances, recitals, community events, and workshops. There is something for everyone to enjoy, to aspire to, and to learn from at the Clemens Center. th
Join us at the annual Clemens Center Gala, Saturday, May 10, for a roaring 20’s-themed party. Get your tickets early as this fundraiser, with backstage access, dinner on stage, great entertainment, and
auction prizes typically sells out!
We will be serving Curtains Red Cabernet Franc and Spotlight White Riesling, bottled by Heron Hill Winery, at our concessions in 2025. Or, you may purchase it directly at Heron Hill (in person or online) or in local retailers. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Clemens Center. Our thanks for Heron Hill’s generosity and their wonderful wines!
Our M&T Bank Broadway season concludes with Dear Evan Hansen, and we will be going on sale with the 2025-26 subscription series very soon. Along with our partners at Corning Civic Music Association, we are presenting the dance illusionist company, Momix, with their version of Alice (in Wonderland) for your amazement. Our School-Time and Family Connex Series continue through the month of May. Join us for the OSFL matinee concert featuring the Herzog Competition winners, learn about the making of the Netflix Series, The Making of Our Planet, with filmmaker Dan Tapster, or come sing along in Spanish and English with Grammy award-winners 123 Andrés.
The Clemens Center team collaborated on their own events this season. Grab a movie with the kids or grandkids on the big screen in Mandeville Hall—there is plenty of candy, soda, and popcorn to go around!
Learn about end of life planning throughout the year at our professional legal and financial workshops. And don’t forget the dance recitals in June.
Our calendar would not be complete without our five Resident Companies, promising the best in local dance, theatre, orchestra, and choral talent. Please support them as well.
Enjoy the rest of spring, and look forward to fall starting early at the Clemens Center for 2025-26!

Patrick’s journey began with challenges even before birth, as his mom faced complications during pregnancy. Arriving eight weeks early into the world meant a stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a place filled with specialized equipment and dedicated experts. Thanks to the support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Patrick received the critical care he needed to thrive, surrounded by a team committed to his well-being. Today, he’s a happy and healthy four year old, a testament to the power of community support and advanced medical care.
Your gift to the
Children’s Miracle Network allows us to educate our staff on medical advances essential to providing the best care for our smallest patients, like Patrick

BUILDING COMMUNITY
Streeter Associates is proud to support the arts in our region through its long-standing relationship with the Clemens Center. We understand that it takes more than constructing buildings to build community.
www.StreeterAssociates.com
SHARP MINDS. SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION. SINCE 1949
In 2017, the John G. Ullman & Associates Foundation, Inc. provided underwriting for the Center’s first-ever sensory-friendly dance performance for children on the autism spectrum. The success of that event, combined with the Foundation’s mission to fund educational programs in the local area, inspired the creation of the Family Connex Series. Since then, nearly 7,200 kids and caregivers have been served.
The carefully-curated programs in the Series help connect families to the Center by attending together, and promote family conversation, critical thinking, and the simple enjoyment of the live performing arts. The Foundation’s generous contribution allows the Clemens Center to keep ticket prices affordable. Join us on the following dates for family fun!

The Clemens Center is proud to be a partner with area educators in providing arts experiences that en rich the lives of young people. Each season, we strive to present a variety of productions that complement the school curriculum and enhance learning, as only the arts can do. Over the years, our audience has grown to include, not only regional public and private schools, but also many home -schools, pre-schools and individual families.
These programs are made possible, in part, through a contribution from the Tripp Foundation to the Clemens Center’s Endowment Fund in memory of Mary Tripp Marks and her concern for the cultural enrichment of children.
Since 1979, the Mary Tripp Marks School -Time Series has touched the lives of over half a million young people with curriculum-related programs. For many of them, these daytime performances represent their first introduction to the Clemens Center and to the magic of live theatre.
The 2024-25 Series Includes: Frindle
Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny
The Gruffalo’s Child
A Year With Frog and Toad
Hero: The Boy From Troy
Moon Mouse: A Space Odyssey
Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes: The Story of Babar the Elephant
Our Planet Live
Special Attraction for grades 9+
The Express: The Ernie Davis Story
A FREE film presentation in honor of Ernie Davis Day
We believe that exposure to live theatre can ignite a child’s imagination in a unique way, opening the door to a greater understanding of the world and a lifelong love of the arts.
