Our audiences and acts agree, when you visit The Murphy Theatre you’ll witness first-hand there’s not a bad seat in the house. The rich, intimate setting and incredible acoustics set this 685-seat museum with a stage apart from the cold, sterile, mega-theatres with all the warmth and charm of a dentist office waiting room.
You have so many choices these days. Stay home in sweat pants and watch reruns, drag yourself out to a stale big box theatre with seats so far away you find yourself in a different zip code than the stage - and you need to watch the performance on a large video screen anyway, which brings you to wonder, “Why did I even come to this?” Or, you could rest comfortably in the climate-controlled Murphy Theatre where the farthest seat from the stage still feels like you’re right up close and personal. In fact, our farthest seats, what we call our Bistro seating are often the first seats that sell out!
For those who have been coming to The Murphy Theatre you know it’s more than just theatrical eye candy. The Murphy Theatre is memories. Memories of Saturday afternoon movies, dance recitals, school programs, Christmas pageants, band concerts, plays, national touring acts, Sunday night radio shows, all those cultural events that helped shape our lives and appreciation for the arts.
The Murphy Theatre continues this tradition of being the focal point for the performing arts in Clinton County, even expanding our offerings for 2023. But maintaining an iconic theatre such as this requires a lot of work and a lot of money. Ticket sales don’t cover the operational expenses. Now is the time to show this venerable venue your love and become a Murphy Theatre member today.
You’ll find that members enjoy a host of exciting benefits, and even greater perks than from years past. For our neighbors from Clinton County we’re tossing in additional incentives for nearly every level of membership you take out or renew, for any show presented by The Murphy Theatre throughout 2023.
Your generous participation will ensure The Murphy Theatre continues to provide quality cultural experiences and exciting entertainment for generations to come.
We can’t wait to see you again, at The Murphy Theatre, where there’s not a bad seat in the house, but they would be even better with you in them!
Kind Regards,
Steve Burnette
Executive Director, The Murphy Theatre
