OUTREACH CONCERTS

Four Seasons Theatre is in our 16th year of bringing musical theatre entertainment out into the community—and sneaking in some education, too. Our community outreach programming brings some of the best local singers into a variety of venues, armed with Broadway music and the stories of the composers, lyricists, playwrights, and artists who create it. Each year our outreach performers visit senior centers, libraries, schools, retirement communities...you name it, we’ve probably schlepped a keyboard there and performed. We bring live musical theatre to those who might not otherwise have a chance to engage with it—and we help our performing artists at the same time, both with financial support and with a chance to work new material into their repertoire.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Starting in February 2026, we are bringing Great Dames: Leading Ladies of Stage and Screen to area retirement communities, civic organizations, schools, and senior centers as part of our Great American Songbook series. This salute to the golden age of Broadway and the Hollywood musical focuses on the women who brought these songs and stories to life. We'll bring you tunes made famous by such marvelous dames as Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, Lena Horne, Doris Day, and many more―and you'll learn about the lives and careers of these amazing women while you enjoy great local singers performing their signature hits.
