THANK YOU.

Construction In Progress!
Construction is underway on the Historic Lansdowne Theater!
As we restore our gorgeous building, we are also in the process of redesigning our website. In the meantime, you can get regular progress reports by following us on Facebook.
After a decade and a half of hard work and with critical support from state, federal and local government, private foundations and hundreds of individual donors, we have at last secured the funds needed to complete restoration and reopening of the Historic Lansdowne Theater. Construction kicked off in Summer 2023 and is proceeding quickly. Once construction is complete, The Lansdowne will serve as a major regional concert venue operated by BRE Presents.
However, our journey isn't over. Your continued support is crucial to preserve this community treasure and transform it into a vibrant, functional space. Every donation helps us keep the history alive while preparing for the future. Please consider extending your support to see this vital project to completion.
Remember, your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Be a Legacy: Sponsor a Seat!
A seat sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to create a prominent legacy in the historic Lansdowne Theater by placing the name of your family, friend, or business in the limelight. Your donation is commemorated with a personalized plaque that will be mounted on a brand new chair that your donation pays for. Seat sponsorships are valid for twenty years.
Cost to Sponsor-a-Seat: (includes custom engraved plate!)
PRIME: $1000 per seat for the first two aisle seats and end seats of each row
GOLD: $750 per interior seat for "gold" seats in select rows (non-end caps)
BLUE: $600 per seat for any other seat
** Credit card payments through this website include a 4% fee to cover processing charges.
To avoid the credit card processing fee, inquire about sponsoring and paying via check by emailing info@lansdownetheater.org.
How to Sponsor-a-Seat:
1) Find an available seat here: Lansdowne Theater Seat Map. An embedded seat map is displayed below, but it is probably easier to open the above link in a new tab because the image is so large. Note the STAGE is in brown at the top, center of the page.
2" x 4" brass plaques will be affixed to the BACK of the brand new chair that your donation sponsors.
Available seats have their seat number within the grid. Unavailable seats say SOLD. GRAY sections without a number are not seats (and are not empty areas, but rather account for the curvature of the auditorium radiating from the stage, outward).
2) Find a seat, note the color, and fill out the form to the right.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
PLEASE NOTE:
Seat sponsors must still purchase tickets to any performance at the Historic Lansdowne Theater and are not guaranteed seating in chairs bearing their names.
Seat sponsorships last 20 years (which tends to be around the life of the chair, and when replacements will need to be installed).
All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The Historic Lansdowne Theater Corporation reserves the right to edit dedication plates on chairs and recognition board for space considerations or appropriateness.
