PURCHASE A SEAT PLAQUE!
You can become an important and enduring part of OPAC when you “Have a Seat” — your name engraved on a permanent commemorative brass plaque, attached to a seat in the theater.   Your donation helps the capital improvements fund--for curtains, lighting, and other theater needs.   People who come to performances will notice your name and appreciate your support for the arts.  
Or, buy a plaque as a gift for someone else—a new graduate, your parents or child, a favorite teacher, a friend, or someone you admire in the community.  Click here for a brochure to learn more about the seat plaque campaign.
