Running parallel to the success of Drayton Entertainment’s theatrical programming are a variety of initiatives designed to improve the
quality of life in the communities it serves. Over the past 3 decades, the organization has leveraged its brand, reputation, and
infrastructure to successfully implement and build several programs as part of its Education, Engagement & Outreach strategy.
To date, these programs have been housed at Drayton Entertainment’s existing venues. However, with over 800 performances
presented annually by over 400 artists and coordinated by a staff of 75 employees, the facilities are operating at capacity. As such,
space is limited for the expansion of current – and the development of new – artistic programs focused on cultivating community.
