Palm Theater, Telluride, CO

The Palm Theatre is committed to bringing to Telluride only the finest national touring companies - tours that are generally only staged in major metropolitan areas due to costly artist’s fees. The Palm is committed to ensuring that the arts are accessible to as many people in the community as possible, through ticket prices that average approximately $30, and complimentary tickets available through our scholarship program. While the Palm Theatre greatly appreciates your purchase of event tickets, it is clear that ticket sales cover only the direct costs of each production and not the ongoing operations of the theatre.

Why Should I Join the New Palm Membership Program?

The future of the Palm relies on you! Previous funding committed for the naming of the theatre ended on June 30, 2009. In order for the Palm to continue its programming and operations as a community theatre, the Palm needs your support. Please consider joining the Palm’s membership to ensure that the theatre is financially viable into the future.

Fronds of the Palm

Just What is a Frond?

Fronds of the Palm is a whimsical name for a circle of supporters with a serious commitment to the performing arts in Telluride and Southwest Colorado. Inspired since performances in the theatre’s very first seasons, the Fronds of the Palm have joined together to invest in the future of the performing arts.

Each Frond makes a four year pledge to contribute $5,000 annually, for a total commitment of $20,000. In making this pledge, Fronds are providing the most fundamental support for expanding the artistic potential of the theatre through a planned, multi-year financial support upon which the Palm Theatre can budget its programming more effectively.

In turn, this helps ensure that the Michael D. Palm Theatre continues to provide high-quality programming at affordable ticket prices so all members of the Telluride and the Southwest Colorado community have access to the performing arts.

In recognition of their generous contributions, Fronds receive the following benefits:

All Director level member benefits
Annual vouchers for either season tickets for two with priority seating or 10 free tickets to the Palm Series Presents performances or Met Opera or NT Live performances of choice
Use of the Palm Theatre for their own private event (excluding fundraisers) twice during the four year pledge period, subject to availability.
Complimentary concessions at all Palm Series Presents performances
