Students perform on the State Theatre stage during Spotlight Showcase

BECOME A DONOR

Stages and stories do more than enhance our lives; they transform our city and state in powerful ways. Today, as one of Minnesota’s largest arts organizations, Hennepin Theatre Trust brings more than 600,000 people to downtown Minneapolis each year to experience the power of performance in three historic theatres — the Orpheum, State and Pantages — as well as our premier event center and performance space at 900 Hennepin Avenue.

As a recognized leader of arts and culture development in downtown Minneapolis, we trust artists — on our stages and on Minnesota’s main street — to create positive change. We trust art to educate us. We trust art to enlighten us. We trust art to enrich our businesses, bring new and better jobs to this region, attract capital and people, and spur vitality in downtown Minneapolis and beyond.

We are grateful for support from members of our community. We see the impact of these gifts each and every day, here at home and in every corner of Minnesota, through our signature nonprofit programs including Spotlight Education and Public art.

Donors enjoy exclusive benefits

We’re pleased to offer the PNC Encore Lounge. Donors who give $1000+ annually are invited to join us in our private donor lounge, located at Hennepin Theatre Trust’s home at 900 Hennepin Avenue, next to the Orpheum Theatre, prior to Bank of America Broadway on Hennepin performances. The lounge features complimentary wine and beer as well as access to restrooms prior to the show and at intermission. Please note access to the Lounge is for our donors and is not transferable.

Donors invigorate the Trust community. Becoming a donor is an easy and satisfying way to support our work.
