Dear Thalian Friend,
We hope you will consider joining or donating to Thalian Association Community Theatre, the Official Community Theatre of North Carolina, for our 236th year of providing exciting theatrical performances and arts education to the Cape Fear Region. Local community theatre and arts education are thriving and reaching more people than ever, thanks to your unwavering support!
Thalian Association Community Theatre (TACT) truly enhances the quality of life in the Cape Fear Region. Any support given is guaranteed to work hard for our company and support our mission on and off stage. Here are some of our programs to support the culture of our community:
- Five productions at historic Thalian Hall and five youth theatre productions at the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center
- Youth Theatre special school performances for designated area Title 1 elementary schools and middle schools with Sensory Friendly performances for Cape Fear Region students in Specially Designed Academics programs
- Orange Street ArtsFest, a downtown Wilmington tradition since 1995
- Management of the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center for the City of Wilmington
- Creative Arts Camp for ages 4 – 17 every summer at the HBHUSO/Community Arts Center
- Host the N. C. Azalea Festival Youth Art Contest and Divine Divas, a fundraiser to benefit Thalian Youth Theatre
The 2024-2025 season is bigger than ever! This year we are presenting four of your favorite musicals and an exciting play that was also famous as an Academy Award nominated movie. We will return to Main Stage Thalian Hall with Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein (just in time for Halloween), our holiday show is Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, followed by the powerful play A Few Good Men, our Azalea Festival show is the family favorite Disney’s Mary Poppins, and the season finale is the fabulously fun Legally Blonde!
The Youth Theatre season on the 2nd Street Stage at the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center is equally exciting and has something for youth of all ages; SIX : Teen Edition, Anastasia, Willy Wonka Jr., Alice in Wonderland, and Fame Jr.! I hope you will review the 2024-2025 ticket packages and make plans to join us at the theatre! Purchasing a ticket package not only supports our operating expenses but saves money for you too!
The demands for your generosity are many, and were it not for individuals such as yourself, Wilmington would be a different place. Thank you for supporting Thalian Association, the Official Community Theatre of North Carolina!
