Support/ Volunteer
As a non-profit entity, the Reitz Theater needs the support of the community in order to continue producing high-quality arts events in our region. There are many ways to support the theater:
donations of building materials and tools
donations of interesting hand props or furniture pieces (old telephones, antique items, etc.)
donations of clothing items of interest, especially vintage or period-specific items
volunteer opportunities such as clean-up days
volunteer ushers, box office staff or cleaning
(Contact the office to meet with staff regarding donations of items as we may not be able to use all items- please do not drop off items without prior approval)
We welcome and appreciate the support of our patrons! If you require any further information on any of the items on this page, please contact us by email or call 814-375-4274.

Catch A Falling Star Campaign
Here's a wonderful way to honor or memorialize a loved one or to show your support for live local theater. A plaque with the person's name inscribed in it will be placed under our beautiful Reitz Theater's "Star of Fame" in the theater annex. It is a perfect way to remember a special person in your life, or as an expression of love for the theater.
Your generous contributions will be used to help fill in the shortfalls and cutbacks in grants and corporate support and to ensure the operation of the theater and our ability to generate live theater and entertainment.
Contact the Reitz Theater office for more details!
