OVERVIEW
At Theater Alliance, we believe the arts are the heartbeat of a thriving community—connecting us, sparking change, and reminding us of our shared humanity.
Now, we’re stepping into a bold new chapter: building a permanent home that’s far more than a theater. We envision an accessible arts hub that will anchor community vitality, spark civic engagement, and elevate underrepresented voices. This project channels resources and cultural capital into creating a space where art and community can flourish. It will be a place designed for flexible performances, creative work, and gathering—a vibrant center that fosters shared success and mutual support.
After a successful first year activating this space with innovative performances and community partnerships, we’re ready to build on that momentum—and we invite you to help make it a reality.
Preliminary architectural renderings were designed in partnership with Grupo 7 Architecture + Interiors.
