Individual Memberships
An annual, individual membership contribution is an investment in our community and the quality of life in our region. Your contribution helps the Clemens Center to maintain the quality of the shows we present, supports our educational programs, and encourages local artists through the subsidized support of our regional resident companies. In return, we offer you the satisfaction of knowing you are doing your part to ensure the vitality of the region’s premier performing arts center.
With various giving levels available, enjoy the range of benefits by being a Member including Exclusive Ticket Insurance, Advance Purchase Opportunities, Broadway Series Subscription Discount and consider membership program enhancements at the Benefactor’s Circle levels. Your relationship, whatever it may be, is important to us.
Regular updates are provided to Members on the Clemens Center’s social media channels, our website and via e-mail. If you are not receiving our member update emails, please sign up by emailing us at info@clemenscenter.org.
