Community Theater Matching Gift Challenge

First Avenue Playhouse has been offered a challenge! Between now and May 15 a friend of the Playhouse has presented to us a matching gift challenge. Take part in this historic opportunity. We are counting on theatre patrons like you to help us meet this Matching Gift Challenge.

When you take advantage of this donation opportunity, your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, doubling your impact for theater productions that matter in Monmouth County! As we like to say at the theater no donation is too small and we have yet to receive a donation that we thought was too large!

Patrons are the lifeblood of the theater and we rely on patrons like you to help us provide the continuing live entertainment that we have been providing for over 30 years . If you have the ability, please make a special gift today by calling the playhouse at 732-291-7552 or emailing us at info@firstavenueplayhouse.com or letting us know of your wish to participate the next time you visit the theatre on or before May 15. Remember, your gift is fully tax deductible.

First Avenue Playhouse Dessert Theatre

It was like everyone in that cozy little place were all friends.

They wanted to be sure we had everything we needed.

"You Can't Take It With You"

Outstanding.

The show was a master class in acting, set design and comedy. You don’t want to miss this.

Hilarious.

Staff was great. Looking forward to going back. Highly recommend.

"Don't Drink the Water"

This talented cast did a wonderful job of bringing Woody Allen’s 1960’s comedy to the stage of the First Avenue Playhouse! The show is a must see!! We thoroughly enjoyed opening night in this charming setting, topped off by complimentary coffee and desert! The staff is warm and friendly! A perfect venue to enjoy a relaxing evening with friends and family! Not a bad seat in the house! Looking forward to returning!
