For over 80 years, the Chester Playhouse has played a unique and important role within the Chester Community by bringing world-class theatre and entertainment to audiences of all ages. The Chester Playhouse has played a vital role in shaping Chester’s past, and with your help, we can continue to build upon its success into the future. As a not-for-profit theatre, we rely on the generosity of our individual donors for approximately 60% of our funding.
The General Operating fund supports programming and staffing at your Chester Playhouse. As we work to rebuild at 22 Pleasant Street, and offer incredible live performances around our community, your donation now means more than ever.
