BE A SPONSOR! NAME A SEAT!
Canterbury Theatre is starting a fundraiser and we need your help! This is your opportunity to memorialize your support of a 50 year local institution, as well as help to sustain the Theater’s future. For your $100.00 contribution, you can choose the name you would like to see proudly engraved on a seat plate as a permanent testimony of your sponsorship of the quality theater you have enjoyed over many years. Perhaps you are an alum of Canterbury, a parent or friend of one, a loyal supporter, know someone who's passed on and would love a permanent seat in the theatre, or you are a local business that supports the arts in your community.
Feel free to email us if you have any questions. Info@canterburytheatre.org

Gerald "Jerry" Peters
Sadly in 2012, we lost Gerald "Jerry" Peters, the longtime president of the Festival Players Guild, (now Canterbury Guild) and production administrator for the Canterbury Summer Theatre. Jerry helped pilot the Guild through 43 years of civic accomplishment, as well as helming the summer theatrical production entity that has given hundreds of young theatre artists from across the nation their first professional jobs.
Michigan City has lost one of its favorite sons, and the legacy of Jerry’s efforts to help his hometown flourish will not soon be forgotten, nor will our memories of his generosity, colorful personality, sense of humor and dedication to the Guild and Canterbury Theatre.
Contributions in Jerry's name may be made to Canterbury Guild, P.O. Box 157, Michigan City, IN 46361.
