This monumental year features definitive and upbeat musicals; hilarious comedies; and classic American dramas. With these titles, TNP is building our community up.
With our unparalleled educational programs, transformative “Arts Access” department, and community outreach initiatives, this season we are providing exceptional access to the power of theatre.
Time and time again we’re told about the lifelong friends made among our volunteers; or about a student with autism who learned to express themselves thanks to one of our theatre therapy programs; while nearly 90% of audience members say that attending a production makes them feel more connected to our local community!
Your season tickets help support this critical work. BUT…

Additional donations are needed to support our education classes, access programs, and our continued efforts to build community through exceptional access to the power of theatre! Please add a donation to your order to help us reach further and remain community centered and quality driven.

Last season, we celebrated our 70th season of serving our community by breaking down the walls of our iconic 5th Avenue South theater to embark on a $21M renovation.
This season we come back to the home that will welcome our community for decades to come.
This year we honor those who came before us, celebrate those who kept the ghostlight on for 70 seasons, and join together to move excitingly into the future.
Great naming opportunities still exist, including the popular “name a seat” program. Affirm your family’s name in this historic moment by participating in these inspiring fundraising efforts.
WELCOME HOME.
