Why We Give: A Legacy of Community and Art
Stewards of a Local Landmark
Named in honor of Thomas Meighan, the silent film star who helped put New Port Richey on the map, the Meighan Society is a distinguished group of patrons dedicated to the preservation and growth of the Richey Suncoast Theatre.
Our members aren’t just donors; they are the stewards of a local landmark. By joining the Meighan Society, you ensure that our historic stage remains a vibrant home for the performing arts for generations to come.
