As a nonprofit organization, Tilles Center for the Performing Arts strives to entertain and enrich the community through arts performance, education and advocacy.
Tilles Center welcomes 150,000 visitors annually to enjoy the world’s finest artists across all genres including music, dance, comedy and theater.
As a community cultural service provider, we are committed to the preservation and live presentation of all art forms: classical and pop music, jazz, cabaret, dance, cultural programming and theater, including performing arts for children and families.
We seek to explore innovation within the disciplines and are committed to a perspective that is inclusive and equitable, presenting artists who come from and speak to diverse experiences. Moreover, we seek to present “world-class” work — performances of highest artistic standard.
In addition to presenting premier performances, Tilles Center proudly supports tens of thousands of children and adult learners each year through its robust arts education programs. The focus is on providing arts experiences to underserved communities — from low-income school districts and those on the autism spectrum to local seniors.
We believe that the performing arts are uniquely capable of fostering communication and understanding among people, supporting social and emotional health, and demonstrating the highest potential for human achievement.
