2026 Memberships (4).png

A full year of music, theatre, dance, film, family events, and more—one simple membership.

WHY BECOME A MEMBER?

Membership feels like your favorite streaming service—but live. No commitment to a single genre, no pressure to “pick the right show,” and no need to track ticket costs. See a dance performance on Friday, a jazz concert on Saturday, and a world-premiere play next month. Try something bold, revisit something familiar, or discover a new artistic corner of the world—your membership lets you follow curiosity wherever it leads.
