Why Become a Member?
- Every Tibbits membership helps maintain a vital piece of Branch
County's history. Tibbits Opera House, built in 1882 by Barton S.
Tibbits, is one of the oldest theatres in Michigan and one of only
a few dozen of its era still operating the the United States.
- Box office revenue provides only a portion of the funding required
to sustain the theatre. Tibbits Opera Foundation members provide
a large percentage of the operating funds vital to the existence
of the theatre. We cannot exist without the generosity of our members.
- Membership enhances children's programming and encourages each
child to experience and appreciate culture and the arts. Tibbits'
goal is to offer programs that excite, educate and stimulate the
youth of our area.
- Membership is an investment in the hopes and dreams of aspiring
actors, musicians and dancers who appear on the Tibbits stage as
well as artists who display their talents. It is home to community
theatre, community band and local dance studios.
