Spring 2026 Donor Impact Update

REAL STORIES. REAL IMPACT. SPRING 2026.

We’re proud to share the Spring 2026 Donor Impact Update, a celebration of the people, stories, and generosity that keep the Blackfriars Playhouse bright.

Inside you’ll find:

• Stories from longtime patrons whose ASC memories have become family history
• A former ASC Theatre Camper whose path led from camp to the rehearsal room
• A look at the music, instruments, and care that help bring our productions to life
• A tribute to Preston Manning and the community that helped build the Blackfriars Playhouse
• Reflections on 25 years of shared light, connection, and community

Explore the full report below or download your copy of the Spring 2026 Donor Impact Update to read and share.

And this is only the beginning. We’ll be sharing more stories of impact throughout the year as we look ahead to the 25th anniversary of the Blackfriars Playhouse.

If these stories move you, we invite you to make a gift and help keep the Blackfriars Playhouse bright for the artists, students, audiences, and community members who gather here.

Every performance, every student matinee, every camp scholarship, every note of music, and every shared moment in the Blackfriars Playhouse is made possible by people who believe in this work, people like you.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping the ASC remain a center for performance, education, research, and community.
