The Reach is the home of performing arts for Deer Isle-Stonington schools + our island community.
THE REACH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
REACH FOR THE FUTURE!
In July 2025 we will conclude our first ever capital campaign - REACH for the FUTURE.
To usher The Reach (further!) into the 21st century, we are upgrading our lighting, sound, projection and curtain systems - that means we are raising money above and beyond our normal operating expenses - and that means we need your help!
You can still support The Reach and help us raise $250K and REACH for the FUTURE.
Thank you!
