We’re one step closer to welcoming the community back through these doors. Stay tuned for photos and sneak peeks as renovations continue!  Thankful for Our Community — and What’s Ahead It takes a village to keep the arts alive, and we’re endlessly thankful for ours. From local businesses who’ve donated time and materials, to patrons who’ve supported us through thick and thin — you make The Historic Port Theatre possible.  As we look ahead to the next season for the theatre, we’re filled with excitement for what’s next: new concerts, community events, and surely even a few surprises in 2026. Stay tuned for our upcoming event announcements — and thank you for helping us bring the arts back to life!  After 12 years of fund-raising and grant writing, the Historic Port Theatre renovation is nearing completion. But we are not finished yet, we need your help with the final phase. This includes outdoor lighting, a digital sound system, and some interior design items such as stage curtains and seating.   We are currently on track to open debt-free, and your donation will go a long way to completely funding this final phase. Please consider donating now through our website. Your donation is tax-exempt as allowable by law.
