Together we can save the
Mabel Tainter Theater!
For over 118 years, the Mabel Tainter
Memorial has been serving the community
as the center of cultural activity in the area.
Generations have experienced the thrill of
live performances up close and intimate,
within the Heart of Menomonie.
Now it's our turn to ensure that future
generations have the same opportunity,
to stand and shout "BRAVO!" to a
performance worth repeating for
another hundred years.

Here's How You Can Help: |
A Room to Call Your Own
With a three-year pledge of $5000 or more, you can leave your own legacy inside the theater by naming one of the theater's beautiful rooms after you or a loved one. Frank and Barbara Burdick chose to name a dressing room in honor of their family, recognizing the joy their family has experienced performing in Menomonie Theater Guild shows at the theater.
“The Mabel Tainter has meant so much to both our
daughters and grandchildren, we thought it appropriate
to support new dressing rooms with our pledge. So
many of our family have been involved in plays when
adequate dressing room space was not available for
all of the cast. The new dressing rooms will enhance
the experience of being on stage at the Mabel Tainter
for so many of our community.”
- Frank Burdick |
"Take A Seat"
Thanks to a grant from the Jeffris Family Foundation, with a pledge of $1000 you can name a seat within the theater; you or a loved one will be permanently recognized on a brass plaque affixed to the back of a seat. The Talen family named a box seat in honor of their mother Anne to "honor our mother and recognize the significance of the Mabel Tainter in our family's life." |

Jim McSweeney, 3M Plant Manager in Menomonie, shares why the landmark has
been supported by 3M.
“3M Company believes in enhancing the quality of life in communities where we have operations by
helping organizations that encourage and support the arts and enhance the culture of the community
through educational outreach programs and strong community involvement. I believe the Mabel Tainter
Theater is a key resource in enhancing the quality of life in Menomonie.
“We are always trying to attract the best technical and professional people to come
to work for us here in Menomonie. When we are recruiting people, we make sure to
let them know about the Mabel Tainter Theater and the great diversity of culture
this organization brings to Menomonie....
“Bottom line is 3M thinks the Mabel Tainter Theater does a tremendous job of enhancing the quality
of life in Menomonie by providing a wonderful history lesson about the community as providing a
vast array of arts and cultural experiences for all of us who live and work here.
That’s why our
3M Foundation supported the largest grant we have given to an arts-related organization in any 3M community.”
