| Our 2010-2011 season
will feature cabaret acts,
partnerships with theatre
groups, the formation of a
new resident theatre company
to bring plays back to the

around the world. |

Improved Theatre Experience |
|
|
We have already started
and will continue to provide
a greater variety of
programs that appeal to new
and current audiences.
We also want to provide
our patrons with a more
comfortable theatre. We
recognize the need to
improve the seating, upgrade
the sound system and
acoustics, expand our
restroom and lobby area, and
expand the stage area to
accommodate theatrical
performances.
The purchase of the
theatre was made possible
through the support and
generosity of dedicated
individuals and
organizations who provided
adequate funding for the
down payment. We need to
continue fundraising to pay
off the mortgage and make
the many theatre
improvements we all
recognize need to be made.
If you would like to
contribute, please contact
Brett Colby at 732-528-4336
or e-mail
brett@algonquinarts.org.
Please join us as we
Reimagine, Reinvent and
Renew the Algonquin
Arts Theatre. Please help us
to enrich your quality of
life and that of others who
live, work and study at the
Jersey Shore. Only with
community support can we
accomplish all this and so
much more.

Algonquin Arts, a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, was founded in 1991 to provide cultural enrichment for residents of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
This mission is accomplished by presenting a wide range of arts programming, including dramatic and musical theatre, dance, musical concerts and film
representing a diversity of style and cultural influence, film and mixed media presentations.
These presentations are offered to the public in the setting of the 540-seat Algonquin Arts Theatre located in Manasquan, New Jersey, which reopened
to the public in 1994 following an extensive renovation.
Since the founding of Algonquin Arts and the reopening of The Algonquin Arts Theatre, over 500,000 Shore residents have experienced a broad spectrum
of the performing, visual and media arts without paying high fees or enduring lengthy travel. Area residents have gained access to a list of renowned
touring and professional theatre companies including, among others: The Moscow Classical Ballet, The Actor�s Studio of New York, Midori, The David
Dorfman Dance Company, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Paul Taylor Dance Company, TheatreWorksUSA, ArtsPower and Two River Theatre
Company. Algonquin Arts has also hosted acclaimed local performance companies including the Dunbar Repertory Company and the New Jersey Youth Theatre
(formerly the Westfield Young Artists Cooperative Theatre).
In addition of offering unique cultural experiences for adults through its EVENINGS SERIES and its ORCHESTRA SERIES
with The Orchestra of St. Peter by the Sea, Algonquin Arts strives to enhance the educational experiences of area students. The diverse performances
and artist-lead workshops offered as part of the annual EDUCATION SERIES are designed to assist educators in meeting New Jersey's core curriculum
standards. The expanding MORNING MUSIC program (formerly Stage One), offered as a free or reduced-fee monthly music series, presents a forum for the
finest musicians to present an arts-education performance for an audience uniquely combining school-age children and senior citizens.
