October 2025 Update:
The Final Phase!


Dear Friends,

Construction of the new Ancram Center Annex is nearing completion! When we officially open the Annex doors as part of next year’s season, our expanded campus will include:

  • A welcoming new porch and gathering space for artists and audiences

  • Expanded housing for interns and visiting performers

  • Free workshops and creative programs for the community

Generous support from so many in our community has made this transformational progress possible. As we enter this exciting final phase, we are reaching out one last time for help to achieve our fundraising goal which is to complete construction without incurring any debt!

As part of the remaining work to be done, your contribution will make all the difference:

  • $500 = lighting for new porch / outdoor reception area

  • $1,000 = a new front door

  • $2,500 = ADA compliant kitchen appliances

  • $5,000 = ADA compliant walkway
