Bennington Theater has become an essential part of our community. In 2024, we hosted over 100 events—ranging from theater performances to music, comedy, dance, and more. These events have not only brought people together but have also helped revitalize downtown Bennington, attracting new visitors and fostering a deeper appreciation for the arts.

However, we are at a critical juncture. Without immediate support, we may not be able to continue our mission. Ticket sales alone can’t cover the full costs of operating the theater. We need to raise $50,000 to ensure that Bennington Theater remains open and continues to offer diverse, high-quality programming for everyone in our community.

This is a call to action for those who believe in the power of arts and culture to strengthen a community. Your contribution will directly support the theater’s ability to provide educational opportunities, bring in world-class artists, and continue offering a space where everyone—regardless of background—can enjoy and engage with the arts.

We’re asking for your help to ensure that the work we’ve started can continue. Bennington Theater needs you to keep this cultural hub alive for years to come. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our town’s future.

Where Your Money Will Go

Your contributions will directly fund key projects and ensure our long-term sustainability:

2025 Programming: We’re committed to paying artists fairly and expanding in-house theatrical productions, ensuring a vibrant and diverse slate of performances for the year ahead.
Lobby (and other patron facing areas) Renovations: Enhancing the lobby space to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests.
Replacing Our Sign: Our iconic sign was rusted and unsafe; we need a new one to welcome the community and visitors alike.
General Operating Expenses: These essential costs might not be glamorous, but they are what keep the theater running day to day.

Every dollar you give will help us achieve these goals and continue serving as a cornerstone for arts and culture in Bennington.
