You Can Support the Playhouse

The City of Whitehall assumed ownership of the property in 2007, hired professional management, and mounted a fund-raising campaign to build capital, operating, and endowment funds. The Playhouse is now a year-around operation. In celebration of the 95th anniversary of the Howmet Playhouse, a new capital campaign will begin in 2011.

Gifts to support the ongoing, day-to-day operations of the playhouse may be made by cash or check, payable to "City of Whitehall-Howmet Playhouse", at City Hall. Checks may also be mailed to the City of Whitehall:
