Support the Arts in Our Community
The Colonial Theatre, a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, serves as a vital hub for creativity, connection, and community in Keene and the greater Monadnock Region. We believe the arts are essential — they inspire imagination, nurture creative expression, provide a safe and inclusive space for people of all ages, and act as a powerful engine for local economic vitality.
Through our performances, education programs, and outreach, The Colonial helps bring people together — fostering shared experiences that strengthen the cultural and social fabric of our region.
Your support makes this possible. Whether through an individual membership, corporate partnership, planned giving, or by volunteering your time and talents, you help sustain the arts and ensure The Colonial continues to thrive as a place where creativity and community meet.
