ABILENE GIVES 2025

MAY 6TH, 2025

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! One of our FAVORITE days of the year! 

WE NEED YOU IN 2025!

Yes, the Cypress Street construction project continues outside of our doors; we can't wait for it to be complete so we can welcome all of you for an easy, accessible night at the theatre! However, we continue to see so many of you at our films, concerts, and live theatre performances and we are so thankful. It's our pleasure to bring high-quality entertainment to the Abilene community, and we absolutely couldn't do it without you braving the construction to support "Abilene's Theatre."

2023 and 2024 were record years for us; individual support gave us the courage to expand what we do, and, for that, we cannot say thank you enough! We are busier than we have ever been. Our focus on live touring shows took a giant leap forward; last year saw a new all time record of 27 touring shows, nearly twice our previous record. A total of 16,588 people attended one of these shows. The cast of “Napoleon Dynamite!”, Kevin Bacon, Rick Steves, Randy Travis, and Jefferson Starship were just some of the famous names on our stage in 2024. And we finally got back to our pre-covid movie attendance numbers! 11,005 people attended a movie; it was the fourth highest attendance per screening since 1993.

Your continued engagement in our programming is more imperative than ever in 2025. Help us keep up the momentum with a gift during Abilene Gives! Your gift will help preserve Abilene’s historic theatre and keep our doors open for years to come, so generations will continue to enjoy the magic of movies and live performance under our starlit canopy.

We hope you think of us...along with a lot of other fantastic non-profits on May 6. #AbileneGives
