Support Our Annual Drive!
The Historic Lansdowne Theater Corporation’s Annual Fund Drive is underway. Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference. Your support still matters!
Yes — the theater is open, concerts are ongoing, and ticket sales are flowing. But ticket revenue does not come to the HLTC. Those sales support the production of shows by our tenant, BRE Presents, the region's preeminent independent concert promoter.
HLTC — the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that owns and restored the building — is responsible for:
-
Long-term building care: ongoing repairs, preservation, and operations for a nearly 100-year-old landmark.
-
Community responsibility: paying taxes that benefit the Borough of Lansdowne.
-
Future growth: renovating the second-floor offices to attract stable businesses that strengthen main street.
Your donations make sure the theater isn’t just open today, but sustainable for decades to come — as both a historic treasure and a community anchor. Thank you, one again!

Construction Is Complete!
After more than a decade and a half of work, the restoration of the Historic Lansdowne Theater is now finished. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and community, this 1927 landmark has been brought back to life.
The Historic Lansdowne Theater Corporation (HLTC) — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — owns the building and is committed to preserving its beauty, usability, and financial stability for generations to come. Follow us on
Facebook for updates as we redesign this website to reflect our mission going forward.

Be a Legacy: Sponsor a Seat!
A seat sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to create a prominent legacy in the historic Lansdowne Theater by placing the name of your family, friend, or business in the limelight. Your donation is commemorated with a personalized plaque that will be mounted on a brand new chair that your donation pays for. Seat sponsorships are valid for twenty years.
Cost to Sponsor-a-Seat: (includes custom engraved plate!)
PRIME: $1000 per seat for the first two aisle seats and end seats of each row
GOLD: $750 per interior seat for "gold" seats in select rows (non-end caps)
BLUE: $600 per seat for any other seat
** Credit card payments through this website include a 4% fee to cover processing charges.
To avoid the credit card processing fee, inquire about sponsoring and paying via check by emailing info@lansdownetheater.org.
How to Sponsor-a-Seat:
1) Find an available seat here: Lansdowne Theater Seat Map. An embedded seat map is displayed below, but it is probably easier to open the above link in a new tab because the image is so large. Note the STAGE is in brown at the top, center of the page.
2" x 4" brass plaques will be affixed to the BACK of the brand new chair that your donation sponsors.
Available seats have their seat number within the grid. Unavailable seats say SOLD. GRAY sections without a number are not seats (and are not empty areas, but rather account for the curvature of the auditorium radiating from the stage, outward).
2) Find a seat, note the color, and fill out the form to the right.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
PLEASE NOTE:
Seat sponsors must still purchase tickets to any performance at the Historic Lansdowne Theater and are not guaranteed seating in chairs bearing their names.
Seat sponsorships last 20 years (which tends to be around the life of the chair, and when replacements will need to be installed).
All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The Historic Lansdowne Theater Corporation reserves the right to edit dedication plates on chairs and recognition board for space considerations or appropriateness.
