Power the Next Performance

Help the Historic Turnage Theatre Raise $21,250 by December 31, 2026

Current Need: $15,750 (as of 7/23/26)

Arts of the Pamlico is raising $21,250 to meet the Eddie & Jo Allison Smith Family Foundation Challenge Grant and strengthen the lighting and sound capabilities of the Historic Turnage Theatre.

Your donation will help ensure that the Palace Theatre stage and the Gallery are ready to support concerts, plays, community programs, educational events, and many more memorable performances.

Your Donation Will Help Us

  • Replace our ancient light board — run by floppy discs!

  • Restore and Improve Theatre Lighting (on stage and in the house)

  • Purchase iPads for mobile stage tech set up and support during performances…

Look What Support Has Already Made Possible

Thanks to early campaign support, funding has already been secured for several important improvements:

✓ A mobile screen for programs and presentations in the Gallery

✓ A replacement for the aging Mac computer in the technical booth and an iMac for the recording room

✓ Choir microphones and boom microphones to improve sound quality

Every completed project brings us one step closer to a fully equipped and dependable performance space.
