Join us on Sunday, October 19 for a free, family-friendly Open House celebrating the Wang Theatre’s 100th birthday! Step behind the curtain and explore this historic landmark with activities, performances, and surprises for all ages.

As a community celebration, admission is free. We invite you to make a tax-deductible gift to support our nonprofit mission—donations of $25 or more will enter you into a drawing for a family four-pack of tickets to ’Twas the Night Before!

Come celebrate a century of entertainment, education & community at the Wang!
