Dear Thalian Friend,
We hope you will consider joining or donating to Thalian Association Community Theatre, the Official Community Theatre of North Carolina, for our 238th year of providing exciting theatrical performances and arts education to the Cape Fear Region. Local community theatre and arts education are thriving and reaching more people than ever, thanks to your unwavering support!
Thalian Association Community Theatre (TACT) truly enhances the quality of life in the Cape Fear Region. Any support given is guaranteed to work hard for our company and support our mission on and off stage. Here are some of our programs to support the culture of our community:
- Five productions at historic Thalian Hall and five youth theatre productions at the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center
- Youth Theatre special school performances for designated area Title 1 elementary schools and middle schools with Sensory Friendly performances for Cape Fear Region students in Specially Designed Academics programs
- Orange Street ArtsFest, a downtown Wilmington tradition since 1995
- Management of the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center for the City of Wilmington
- Creative Arts Camp for ages 4 – 17 every summer at the HBHUSO/Community Arts Center
- Host the N. C. Azalea Festival Youth Art Contest and Divine Divas, our annual fundraiser to benefit Thalian Youth Theatre
The 2026-2027 season is bigger than ever! We will return to Main Stage Thalian Hall with Dracula (just in time for Halloween), our holiday show is Miracle on 34th Street, back by popular demand Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, our Azalea Festival show is the Wilmington premiere of Disney’s Frozen, and the season finale is the Tony Award winning musical thriller Sweeney Todd!
The Youth Theatre season on the 2nd Street Stage at the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center is equally exciting and has something for youth of all ages, Xanadu JR, Junie B. Jones Jingle Bells Batman Smells, The Neverland Project, our rookie show is Disney’s Lion King JR, and the finale will be fun for all ages Seussical the Musical! I hope you will review the 2026-2027 ticket packages and make plans to join us at the theatre! Purchasing a ticket package not only supports our operating expenses but saves money for you too!
The demands for your generosity are many, and were it not for individuals such as yourself, Wilmington would be a different place. Thank you for supporting Thalian Association, the Official Community Theatre of North Carolina!
