Friends of the Centre

Donations of any amount are deeply appreciated and form the core of our ability to sustain our mission of making the cultural arts affordable and accessible to our entire community. 

We’re excited to commemorate our 10-year anniversary and show our appreciation for our community’s incredible support by hosting 10 sensational events over 10 consecutive months. Our 2023–24 schedule of Main Stage Performances are our way of saying “Thank You” for helping make the Renaissance Centre “the” place our community gathers to celebrate and enjoy the arts. 

Beginning with The Malpass Brothers concert on July 22, our “Realizing the Possibilities” Celebration Series will continue with two Murder Mystery Dinners on August 12, the Celebration of the Arts on October 7, Marcus Anderson in concert on November 18, and four performances of the Celtic Angels December 15-17.

The celebration series will then extend into 2024 with a North Wake Theatre stage show in January, Black History Month performances in February, the Wake Forest Film Festival in March, and a concert featuring The Drifters in April.

The Town of Wake Forest has always been a strong supporter of the Renaissance Centre and the arts in general, but our success ultimately depends on the generosity of people like you!

Starting this year, the Renaissance Centre will offer two levels of the Friends of the Centre membership. The Friends of the Centre is a $100 donation and the new Patron level is $250.

Your tax-deductible donation will allow you to purchase up to four tickets before they go on sale to the public. This will give you the opportunity to claim the best seats for upcoming performances that offer reserved seating.

In addition, your name will be displayed as a member of the Friends of the Centre on the Renaissance Centre website and on the screen prior to Main Stage performances. 

But that's not all!

Patrons receive all the benefits of our “Friends” level plus 2 complimentary tickets to the performance of your choice.

Our most expensive show this season is the 10th Anniversary Gala on November 18th. The evening includes dinner, dancing, and the VIP experience for $85 per ticket. If you are joining us for the celebration, becoming a Patron Level donor will be less expensive. $100 Friends Level plus 2 tickets at $85 each equal $270.

You can help us “Realize the Possibilities” of our full potential by making your tax-deductible donation today.
