Think back to the first time you sat in a darkened theatre, feeling the collective hush of the audience right before the curtains pulled back. Live theatre has the unique power to build empathy, spark imagination, and connect strangers through shared human stories.

Unfortunately, for many families, seniors, and youth in Lincoln County, the cost of a ticket places this experience completely out of reach.

Porthole Players Ltd. wants to change that—and we need your help.

Our goal is to raise $8,600.00 to remove financial barriers and welcome neighbors who otherwise may not have the opportunity to experience the magic of the Newport Performing Arts Center stage.

Why Your Gift Matters

By donating to the Arts-For-All initiative, you are doing more than buying a ticket. You are providing:

Inclusion: Giving local youth, low-income families, and marginalized groups a seat at the table—and in the audience.
Connection: Offering Porthole Players, Ltd. the opportunity to partner with local social service agencies, schools, and community centers to distribute tickets directly to those who will benefit most.
Inspiration: Providing a safe and supportive environment where audience members can explore their thoughts and emotions, boosting their mental health, and aiding in healing from trauma.

How You Can Make an Impact

$30 sponsors a ticket and a program for a local high school student.
$120 sends a family of four to a performance.
$500 provides an entire community center group with an evening of live storytelling and connection.

Every dollar you give goes exclusively to facilitate Arts-For-All Performance tickets.

Thank you for your warmth, your generosity, and your belief that art belongs to everyone. We can’t wait to see the smiles in the audience that you helped put there.

With gratitude,

Morgan Locklear

President
