Your Center for the Arts...

The Washington Center FRIENDS membership is made up of individuals like you. For over 20 years, The Washington Center has been a part of this community yet, like all non-profit arts organizations, we cannot exist on the strength of ticket sales and theater rentals alone. We need your help. Your FRIENDS membership will ensure that The Washington Center continues as a home for the arts, next week, next year and in the years to come.

Local Performing Groups

Your FRIENDS contribution helps us provide affordable, well-equipped and maintained performing arts facility for our local arts organizations to call home.

World Class Performances

Your support of The Washington Center as an organization gives us the artistic freedom to present a broad selection of international and national professional arts performances in theater, music and dance, giving our region a local venue in which to see world class performances right here in our community.

The Liberty Lounge

Our Liberty Lounge was designed for FRIENDS at the Patron level and above. Named after the original theater that existed on the site of the Washington Center, the Liberty Lounge is open for most Washington Center-presented events-before the show and at intermission. Come in, hang up your coat, and have a drink from our full-service no-host bar. You also receive complimentary coffee, tea, soda and water.

Director's Circle

The Washington Center Director's Circle includes donor contributions of $1500 and above. The Director's Circle provides critical support for the Center and was created for those who hold the belief that the arts are vital to the health of our community. As a Director's Circle member, you receive exclusive benefits including complimentary tickets to our Gala fund raising event, tickets to season events and the highest seating priorities.
