ENABLES THEATRE UPKEEP, UPGRADES & OPERATIONS

Operating a best-in-class venue requires a best-in-class team to deliver an exceptional theater experience. Everything from operations, technology, maintenance, security, and preservation is critical to keeping the Plaza Theatre a community icon for years to come.  
 

FUELS OUR LOCAL ECONOMY

The theatre will draw hundreds of visitors and locals to downtown for every event, thereby driving a new wave of customers to local shops, restaurants, and hotels, becoming a significant driver of the Palm Springs economy.
