A community of supporters preserving the legacy of the Poncan Theatre – one story, one stage, one generation at a time.
THE HEART
For nearly a century, the Poncan Theatre has been more than a building.
It’s where kids step onto a stage for the very first time.
Where confidence is built under bright lights.
Where families gather, traditions grow, and memories stick.
It’s part of who we are.
And now, as we approach 100 years, we have a responsibility–
to protect it, to strengthen it, and to make sure it’s still here for the next generation.
WHAT IS THE 1927 SOCIETY
The 1927 Society is a monthly giving community rooted in legacy.
It’s a simple, sustainable way to support the Poncan Theatre–
not just today, but long-term.
Because preserving something this special doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens steadily.
Consistently.
Together.
WHY 1927?
Because that’s where the story began. On September 20th, 1927, the Poncan Theatre opened it’s doors to the Ponca City and surrounding communities.
Every month, your support honors the year the curtain first rose–
and helps ensure it never falls for good.
