Prima Theatre

Life's greatest moments are in the beautiful experiences shared with those who matter most.

At Prima, we believe that fresh theatrical encounters can unite people, spark joy, and remind us of what it means to live vibrantly. That’s why we’re committed to producing exciting concerts and contemporary theater—each performance serves as an opportunity to invigorate lives. With your generous support, Prima can enhance its role as the region’s most exciting and welcoming cultural hub, inspiring creativity throughout the community.

Every show—from original works to world premieres and heartfelt tributes—offers an uplifting experience that enriches the region's cultural fabric. Whether you’re enjoying a family-friendly musical, embarking on a solo adventure, or sharing a date night, Prima stands as a beacon of energy, art, and connection. The impact extends beyond the stage through initiatives like the Beloved Community Project, which uplifts BIPOC artists, and The GreatList program, ensuring the arts are accessible to all. The NextGen Initiative empowers youth with mentorship and hands-on experiences, equipping them with valuable skills. Supporting Prima is not just a donation; it’s an investment in revitalizing lives and nurturing the community's cultural heart.

Together, let’s cultivate a flourishing cultural scene that energizes and uplifts our community.

Who We Are

We all need fed —
our stomachs and our spirits.
This season that's especially true.

There's never been a more important time to encourage and unite hearts and souls within our community. In 2020, we have been honored by the opportunities to serve our community:
- Presenting the heartwarming new musical Calling All Kates
- Singing home visits to quarantined patrons
- Community music parades and drive-in concerts
- Grocery gift card fundraiser for theatre artists out-of-work due to COVID-19
- Launch of a comprehensive online streaming platform with international reach
- And this December's LanCarolers, a trolley- traveling troupe of contemporary carolers for the holidays

Because of the generosity of visionary people like you, Prima was resourced to meet the moment. And the work is only beginning.

What’s ahead are unprecedented opportunities to invigorate lives locally through fresh theatrical experiences, at a time when joy and reflection isn’t always easy to find. In that spirit, Prima has recently released a 2021 season that is both safe and exciting.

We’re stronger when we come together in times of crisis, and visionary people like you have always inspired us with what is nothing short of essential support. This is far beyond providing entertainment. This is your community. Our community — and your contribution to Prima helps guarantee it thrives, even in the most challenging of times. Thank you for making sure of it.
