Donors Make the Difference!

Hennepin Theatre Trust is the 501(c)(3) owner of the State, Orpheum, Pantages and New Century Theatres. Ticket sales alone do not allow the Trust to fully realize our multi-faceted mission and continue operating and programming our three historic theatres. We rely on your support not only to assist us in paying for labor, artists fees, maintenance and operating costs, but to engage the community with programs that educate and challenge, as well as to entertain the public with a broad array of performing arts events.

Did you know?

  • It costs $38 for each student to participate in the Trust’s annual SpotLight Musical Theatre Program. In 2012, we will have 56 schools participating in the program with a total of 5,000 students. That's a total cost of $190,000 to run the program this year.
  • A single LED light in the Pantages marquee costs $25 to replace, and there are 1,000s of lights in all three marquees.
  • Recent Orpheum lobby renovations included upgraded service stations and improvements in heating and air conditioning which exceeded $1.5 million! All three theatres require constant attention to remain active.
  • The Trust is collecting the stories of generations of theatergoers to preserve their experiences with our theatres and share with the public through a filmed documentary. We have just begun to raise the $150,000 in start-up costs!

Donor Profile

Marianne Merriman

I find joy in all my experiences at Hennepin Theatre Trust's theatres. The staff is remarkably caring and responsive. Not only am I a Trust donor, I also love giving gifts of Hennepin Theatre Trust tickets to people I care about. Very Special!
