How can I help?

Donations

Donations to support the ARTS by way of Centenary Performing Arts Guild are always welcome. Don't forget to contact your company about establishing a matching funds arrangement, if available - your effort doubles your community support!

Adopt A Chair

To help support the renovation that updated the (now very comfortable!) Vintage American Standard chairs - you can choose between two giving levels:

Sponsor ($150 donation) - Bronze plaque with donor name affixed to the back of the chair in recognition of the contribution

Patron ($250 donation) - provides extra funds toward the additional renovations on the Little Theatre's Wish List. Bronze plaque with donor name affixed to the back of the chair and the donor's name will be added to a permanent plaque in the theatre's lobby.

Volunteer Your Time And Talents

Centenary Performing Arts Guild would always welcome your offer to help! Please see our Volunteer page.

Become A Supporting Member

For almost two decades, the Centenary Performing Arts Guild (CPAG) has been a cultural treasure in Northwest New Jersey, bringing a broad array of diverse, exciting and affordable artistic programming to the region throughout each year. From the residency of the famed Tibetan Monks to the annual visit of the New Jersey Ballet, from this year's World Premiere of Inventing Montana to the acclaimed Young Performers Workshop performances at the spectacular New Jersey Performing Arts Center; The Women Playwrights Project, The Waterloo Murder Mystery Series, Art in the Schools, and the "First Sundays" symposium series - the past decade of programming at CPAG has been a series of successes that reflect our expanding community in all its diversity.

Although CPAG enjoys widespread and enthusiastic audiences (numbering almost 10,000 each year!), as in most arts organizations, ticket revenues cover only 60% of our operating expenses. In-kind donation of space and utilities from our host, Centenary College, go a long way toward off-setting those expenses, but CPAG must still raise a minimum of $40,000 each year to pay artist fees, production costs, promotional expenses and administrative requirements and supplies, and to keep tickets affordable, so that everyone can experience the spiritual wealth that the arts can bring to our lives.

Won't you please join The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, The New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the Warren County Cultural and Heritage Commission and a host of other patrons, just like yourselves, in helping to keep the dream alive here at the Performing Arts Guild? We guarantee that you will be happy that you did, as we pledge to you another wonderful year of first class music, theatre and dance, here in the heart of NW New Jersey!
