The Classic Center Cultural Foundation
Downtown Athens, GA
More than 20 years ago, our community members committed to building our fantastic center and theatre. Initially, these members created a membership package that aligned with the annual Broadway Entertainment Series. Over the years, other supporters wanted to be a part of The Classic Center and the Cultural Foundation but found they had other interests rather than the Broadway series. The Classic Center Cultural Foundation now offers two benefit packages to meet the needs of our community and its supporters. The Center Stage Society package offers benefits closely aligned with the Broadway Entertainment Series and the 501 Club package provides benefits aligned with the music, comedians, and other entertainment The Classic Center offers. When the founders of The Classic Center and the Foundation first created this center of culture, civic, and social duty, they didn't know that their vision would lead to $40 million in annual economic impact to the Athens community and secure the arts' home in Athens. The Classic Center Cultural Foundation has also created an Endowment Fund. This Endowment Fund will ensure that the arts forever have a home in Athens. A portion of the proceeds of membership is given to The Classic Center Cultural Foundation's Endowment Fund.
Members of the Center Stage Society are treated to several exciting opportunities! Pre-show receptions and post-show cast meet-and-greets during the Broadway season at The Classic Center Theatre, group dinners and shows in Atlanta, and trips to New York, Canada, and Europe are just some of the culturally enriching activities members of the Center Stage Society enjoy.
All membership levels receive preferential treatment and presales when purchasing tickets to all events produced by Classic Entertainment, notification of all The Classic Center Cultural Foundation events, listing on member plaque and in all Broadway Entertainment Series playbills, the opportunity to purchase additional tickets for $30 each to all Broadway Entertainment Series Member Receptions, and a designated member concierge. Membership in the Center Stage Society includes two individuals and is valid for one year from the purchase date.
