Membership has its perks – The Palace Theatre has for more than a century served the city as a hub for the arts. From developing future thespians through its active youth theater programs, and current expansion project (Rex Theatre) to the addition last year of the Spotlight Room, the Palace now brings a wider range of music and theatre options to arts aficionados. All of that is made possible by the generosity of local businesses and patrons. This year, consider membership, which comes in various levels and with associated perks. Read all about it here.
