Looking for the perfect gift? PCPA is saving a seat for you!

Are you stumped this Holiday season about what to get the person in your life who has it all? How about naming a seat after them in one of PCPA’s famed theaters and give a gift that keeps on giving! Even if your loved one is not a performer, they can make a name for themselves in the arts by having a seat named after them in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, the Keller Auditorium or the Newmark Theatre. For a $300–$500 tax deductible donation, you can have a name of your choice engraved on a brass plaque attached to the armrest of a theater seat.

Naming a seat is an important and lasting way to help maintain the vitality of PCPA’s facilities. Proceeds will be dedicated to long-term maintenance, repairs and upgrades, new sound and lighting equipment, more efficient heating and cooling systems, and updated areas designated for performers.

To name a seat today, please call 503.274.6555. This is a one size fits all gift that is sure to please!

*When you name a seat remember to make a make a matching donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust and receive a tax credit on your Oregon Tax Return. For more information please visit www.culturaltrust.org.
