Metropolis Performing Arts Centre provides both education and entertainment that engage, involve and inspire patrons and performers alike. The performing arts thrive when a community embraces a unique and intimate venue like Metropolis.

Metropolis’ ticket sales and education tuition fees cover only a portion of operating expenses, so we count on our friends like you to donate annually, allowing us to keep the performing arts vibrant in Arlington Heights and beyond.

By supporting Metropolis, you help us stay true to our mission: Metropolis Performing Arts Centre inspires and enriches the community through inspirational live entertainment, imaginative arts education, and impactful community partnerships, delivering artistic excellence, shared multi-generational connections, and inclusive experiences that engage the community.

Your annual contributions truly help make the arts a part of the everyday experience, impacting the lives of thousands of artists and students of all ages and abilities.

Because Metropolis Performing Arts Centre is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, your donation may be fully tax-deductible.
