Enhancing the Quality of Community Life for All Ages!

Dear Friend,

Your generous support of the Warner Theatre is the reason why we can happily celebrate 80 years of entertainment, education and community connection.  Who would have anticipated, back in August of 1931, that this beautifully restored movie palace would be the civic center it has become to the northwest communities of Connecticut and beyond?

In addition, the Warner has become a premier resource for arts education for students of all ages.  Thanks to you, we can now forge ahead in new directions with distinctive programming, innovative educational outreach, and stimulating new plays and musicals that invigorate and inspire a whole new Warner Performing Arts Experience.

We hope you will continue to walk with us in our journey through the next 80 years of community-driven performing arts programming.  Now, more than ever, your gift to the Annual Appeal will help the Warner lead the performing arts scene in northwest Connecticut.  Our ticket revenue supports only part of our operating needs, and with you we can achieve our mission of performance excellence in the region.

Enhancing the quality of community life for all ages is the primary goal of the Warner Experience.  Join us and become a vital part of the Warner Family with your generous gift to the Annual Appeal.  Your contribution will ensure that the arts in our area continue to thrive.

With Gratitude,

Ken Merz                                                                                John Bonanni
