INVESTING IN BOLD EXPERIENCES THAT INVIGORATE LIVES


Prima is a 501(c3) non-profit organization that invigorates lives through fresh theatrical experiences. Powerhouse performances take centerstage in bold concerts and contemporary theater within Prima’s uniquely intimate venue.

On and off the stage, we’re working to provide the region’s most exciting and welcoming cultural hub. In addition to shows, Prima initiatives make a transformational impact towards accessibility, diversity, and belonging, as well as innovative youth enrichment.


Your generosity fuels these efforts. It also comes with exclusive perks.


So consider the benefits of investing in Prima, as contributing provides a sure-fire win for yourself, your company, or your foundation, as well as the broader community.

Here’s to partnering together, making Lancaster an increasingly thriving place to work and live!
