The Re-Imagine a Classic Campaign will transform Great Lakes Theater Festival at every level.

A move to the Hanna Theatre will enable Great Lakes Theater Festival to:

• Present classic theater productions in an ideal setting of 550 seats with improved sightlines and a flexible thrust stage specifically designed for the intimacy and electricity of live theater.
• Create a recognizable identity that will help develop new audiences by branding the experience to reinforce GLTF as a hometown company and gain lobby and street presence with permanent signage and a marquee.
• Change to a cost structure that is appropriate and sustainable for a company of GLTF’s size.
• Control the theater calendar and select an optimal performance schedule allowing ultimate flexibility and opportunities to extend the runs of popular shows.
• Expand its renowned education program. Longer production runs of popular shows and expanded performance calendars afford the region's teachers and students additional scheduling and field trip opportunities. The expansion of GLTF's performance calendar will enable it to better serve its current school-based audiences while cultivating relationships with new ones.
