Celebrate with Us

Thank you to our founders, staff, volunteers, board members, donors, Broadway subscribers and patrons for helping to get us to this milestone.

In partnership with others, we remain dedicated to helping transform the Theatre District from a “place” into a vibrant cultural destination. With a dynamic slate of cultural offerings and entertainment in multiple locations—the main stage, conservatory, BrickBox Theater and Carroll Plaza—and the programming that is free and open to the public, we bring vibrancy and energy to downtown and value to visitors and those who live and/or work in the city.

You are an important part of our success! As the theatre officially kicks off its 15th anniversary on March 14, 2023 we hope that you will join us at one of the many events planned throughout the next year.

The last 15 years would not have been possible without the dedication and support of individuals and organizations within our community alike.

The theatre volunteers play an integral part with the front-of-house team during shows and performances, as well as leading historic and architectural tours and supporting the theatre’s administrative departments with ongoing clerical and management needs.

Congratulations to all H. Carter Hunt Volunteer of the Year Award winners! Thank you for your service to THT.

Building Our Future
