Rise For A Purpose

Annual Campaign

Broadway Theatre League of Utica’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Statement

At Broadway Theatre League of Utica, we believe that live theatre is a powerful platform for bringing people together, sharing diverse stories, and creating lasting connections. We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals—regardless of their background, identity, or ability—can experience, enjoy, and participate in the transformative power of the performing arts.

Rise for A Purpose 

Broadway Utica’s mission goes beyond bringing Broadway-tier performances to the valley. A paramount part of our mission is to serve and support our community. Rise for a Purpose is Broadway Utica’s annual campaign. This fund is a vital resource that can be distributed across several different programs, each aimed at benefiting the community, supporting local initiatives, enhancing student programs, and more. By contributing to Rise for a Purpose, you help ensure that our programs continue to educate and entertain both children and the wider community through a broad spectrum of theater and performing arts.

HELP US SEND 1,000 STUDENTS TO THE THEATRE

The impact of arts education is profound and transformative. It fuels creativity, opens minds, and shapes the leaders of tomorrow. For over 65 years, the Broadway Theatre League of Utica has passionately worked to inspire young hearts and ensure that the magic of live theater enriches our community.

This year, we are thrilled to present a unique opportunity for you to make a lasting difference. 

We aim to send 1,000 high school students from grades 9-12 to see the celebrated musical Dear Evan Hansen on April 8-9, 2025. This initiative is designed to expose local youth to the compelling themes of connection, mental health, and resilience that resonate within the story, fostering important conversations among our young people.

We are seeking to raise $10,000 to bring this vision to life. These funds will directly cover the costs of tickets for students to attend this profound performance. Your support will provide access to the arts, inspire and empower the next generation, and foster a community where creativity thrives for everyone.

We appreciate your consideration of this charitable, tax-deductible gift. Together, we can unlock the potential of live theater for our local students, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

To make your donation, please send a check to the Community Foundation at 2608 Genesee Street, Utica, NY 13502, noting "Broadway Utica / Dear Evan Hansen" in the memo line. For cash contributions, contact the Community Foundation at 315-735-8212 to arrange a secure method.

Thank you!

Broadway Utica is a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation founded in 1957 by a group of individuals that were interested in bringing Broadway caliber performances to the Mohawk Valley.

Ticket sales alone do not fully cover our operating costs, so we rely on foundations, corporations and individuals to help meet our annual need. Your support enables us to bring a diverse selection of quality performances and educational programming to create a vibrant entertainment experience.
