Each summer, members of our community try-out to be part of the annual tradition of a Summer Arts Festival community musical theater production.
These “Broadway in the Park” performances are a popular annual feature at the Summer Arts Festival, enjoyed by thousands each year, and providing theater performance opportunities and stagecraft training for talented friends and family members on the Veterans Park stage.
Donations continue to fuel this popular, important tradition, by providing funds for sets, costumes, lighting, technicians, scripts, royalties, and dozens of other areas which contribute to the professional quality you’ve come to expect from our “Broadway in the Park” musicals. The expenses of presenting each year’s production are supported in part by your generous donations.
Please consider supporting “Broadway in the Park” with a gift in any amount:
• Entertainer Sponsor ($250-$499)
• Star Sponsor ($500-$999)
• Producing Sponsor ($1,000-$2,499)
• Leadership Sponsor ($2,500 & up)
… or any amount you wish to contribute!
