EVERY GIFT MATTERS This past September, Syracuse Stage welcomed over 400 community members to our Open House. By far the most popular activity was the “backstage tours”. Guests were taken behind the scenes to where the magic is made. From actor dressing rooms, to our prop, scene, and costume shops, Stage artisans were on hand to talk about their work on upcoming shows. Patrons were surprised to learn that Syracuse Stage shows are not “pre-built” - they are carefully crafted from the ground up. From the 500 feet of steel molded into the Bank’s home for Mary Poppins to the four-tier Victorian wedding cake, our sets are constructed on site piece by piece. Gifts to Syracuse Stage support our artists and artisans every step of the way and allow them to bring our productions to life – productions that inspire and entertain audiences young and old and transport us out of our everyday lives into the magical realm of live theatre. For a brief time we can come together and celebrate our common humanity. Thank you to the thousands of patrons who over the years have supported Stage. Every gift matters. Make yours today.
