It is hard to overstate just how rare and vital an institution The Smith Opera House is to Geneva and the Finger Lakes. A stunningly beautiful theatre saved from the brink of destruction, a gathering place for all people and ideas, a presenter of incredible performances right in our own little downtown - I've lost track of how many times someone walks into The Smith and stares agape at how lucky we are to have a building and organization like this here.
But it exists because of all of you! Not just in attending shows or programs, but also with your passion and donation support. So yes, today's annual "Fill The Smith" is a fundraiser, but it is also a community-builder, arts-supporter, and a chance for you to show just how much you love The Smith as well. So if you have the means to donate, whether large or small, we cannot thank you enough.
