Magic in the Wings
A Celebration of 45 Years of
Wheelock Family Theatre

Join us for a benefit celebrating 45 extraordinary years of storytelling, imagination, and impact at “Magic in the Wings: A Celebration of 45 Years of Wheelock Family Theatre” —an unforgettable evening honoring the theatre’s legacy and building the foundation for its future.

On Thursday, December 4, 2025 champions of the arts will come together for a vibrant celebration filled with live performances, behind-the-scenes magic, and inspiring stories from the community we serve. Guests will enjoy festive fare, interactive experiences, and opportunities to learn about the  artists, educators, and youth whose lives have been transformed by Wheelock’s commitment to inclusive, accessible theatre.

This milestone event invites individuals, corporate leaders, and community partners to invest in our next act. Proceeds from “Magic in the Wings” will directly support Wheelock’s award-winning productions, education programs, and access initiatives that ensure every child, and family, can experience the power of theatre.

Celebrate the past. Champion the future. Let’s raise the curtain on the next 45 years together.
