We've got so much to look forward to with our renovation. Having a modern, accessible loading dock is essential as we strive to book the best artists in the business to Sumter.

For our patrons, we can't wait for you to share in joy of our gorgeous new art deco-inspired chairs! They are even more beautiful in person.

#ConstructionUpdate 🚧 If you drive down Main Street, you might notice a lot of work happening to the old general store next to the Opera House.

We're so thrilled at the rehabilitation of this old building and the new life being breathed into it. It will soon have many key functionalities for our space–office and administration spaces, technical and backstage facilities for our crew, ushers, and artists, a ticket office, and service as a major entrance! by @sumteroperahouse

It's Arts Education Week, and we'd like to give a heartfelt thank you to our Matinee Series Sponsor, @safefcu 🙏

Thanks to their support, we're able to keep this program going as construction continues. We couldn't be more grateful for them!

Our Y.E.S. Scholarships allow thousands of students across Sumter to experience the arts who might not be able to otherwise.

It's Arts Education Week! 📣 Here Sumter County alone, our Y.E.S. scholarships are made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. As Congress approaches the September 30 budget deadline, cuts to the NEA would hit our community and thousands like it across the country.

Arts in education drives student success across every measure:

🎓 Academic Achievement: Higher test scores and graduation rates

💼 Workforce Readiness: Building the creativity and collaboration skills that 72% of business leaders say are essential

🧠 Student Wellness: Providing emotional outlets and supportive communities

🤝 Equity: Ensuring all students can access transformative learning experiences

Ask Congress to fund arts education and sign your name here! 📝
