The Friends of the Auditorium, Inc., (FOTA) invite you to another season of fine entertainment at the Memorial Auditorium Performing Arts Center. What can match the magic of local and professional performances right in your own community? The intimacy of the Auditorium brings you close to the performers. Hear the music, feel the beat, and see the talent, just as though you were part of the show.

It's time to set aside a few evenings for magic at the Memorial Auditorium Performing Arts Center, and see the world from another perspective. Brilliant Artists. Stellar Performances. Magical Moments. Being there... Nothing can match it! Memorial Auditorium is your stage from family events to broadway. These are your artists from local to international performers. "We promise laughter, tears and more magic per dollar than just about anywhere else." We encourage you to purchase Series Tickets early to get the best discounts, the best selection of seating, and tickets to the finest performances in our area.

Residency Activities

FOTA is dedicated to bringing a broad range of educational and entertainment opportunities to our community. Performers brought to this stage by FOTA are sometimes chosen because they offer quality residency programs for students and the community. Student workshops are just one on the ways FOTA supports the Fine Arts curriculum in the school system. The FOTA are a volunteer group who work to make the Auditorium part of your community life. Join us and see first hand how a show is produced, how an empty stage can be transformed to a magical place, and how artists, music, dance, costumes and makeup take you to another part of the American culture.

To ensure this type of quality artistic programming for future generations, please consider a contribution with your ticket purchase this season. The price of tickets does not reflect the cost of bringjng performers to you. We depend on contributions from private and corporate friends to make up this difference in funding. Your tax deductible donation is an essential and positive expression of your support for the continuation of quality arts events. Your generous gift can, and does, make a difference. Giving to a worthy cause is worth more than you know. It's really this simple: Invest in your community. By giving, you become the receiver of gifts, one of which is the gift of being acquainted with your own power of choice. Get involved, honor yourself and others by being a part of something you love.
