A Legacy of Generosity Sustains Programming in Our Community

Your Generosity Matters

The arts provide us with a diverse array of benefits. They can be a vehicle for expression, introspection, learning and education, or simply a means of satisfaction. In order to provide these and the many other benefits of presenting arts events, generous financial and in-kind contributions are essential.

Please consider becoming a member of the Community Performance Series (CPS) family! Join the many others who have come together to create great things through the arts. 


Contributions to CPS are tax-deductible up to IRS limits.
