Thank you Elizabeth Ruthruff Wilson Foundation for supporting Tecumseh Center for the Arts once again this season. The theater received two separate grants from the Foundation for this year's season. 

The first award for $9,500 will help bring the Irish/Celtic band RUNA to the TCA stage on Friday, February 24. Called "Timeless and flawless ..." RUNA is quickly gaining recognition as one of Irish music's new "super-groups," interweaving the haunting melodies and exuberant tunes of Ireland and Scotland with the lush harmonies and intoxicating  rhythms of bluegrass, flamenco, blues, and jazz while offering a thrilling and redefining take on traditional music. Tickets for RUNA are $25 for adults and $23 for seniors, youth and military. Learn more about RUNA here. 

The second award for $1,000 will be used to bring the 338th Army Band from Livonia, Michigan, to the TCA stage during our Veteran's Day celebration which takes place on Saturday, November 5 at 12 pm (noon). This event is free to the public and will include guest speakers and color guard. 

The Foundation is confident that music and the performing arts positively enhance people’s lives, which is why the Elizabeth Ruthruff Wilson Foundation seeks to enrich the Lenawee County region’s cultural life through its support of, education in, performance of and appreciation for the performing arts. The Foundation’s primary focus is on music and performing arts programs that benefit the Lenawee County community and/or students in the County’s primary and secondary education programs (including post-secondary scholarships in music and performing arts).

THIS NON-PROFIT FOUNDATION:
*Perpetuates the charitable vision of Elizabeth Wilson in its assistance to music and the performing arts.
*Serves the Lenawee County region as an important resource by awarding grants to qualified non-profit organizations with specific, identifiable needs in the areas the Foundation targets.
*Values self-reliance and encourages the use of matching funds for proposed projects.


The Elizabeth Wilson Foundation funds only projects that involve music and the performing arts.

Tecumseh, Michigan - Tecumseh Center for the Arts (TCA) is building momentum for this year’s season with the announcement of new patron benefits effective September 1, 2016.
  • No More Fees!
    Beginning this season, TCA fees are gone! The price patrons see advertised is the price they pay. That means no more $2 service fees or credit card processing fees when purchasing tickets at the Box Office window or over the phone. (The only exception is the TCA online ticketing program which will still include a convenience fee from the third party vendor.)
 
  •  New Military Discounts
    In appreciation and in honor of our country’s military personnel, the TCA is now offering a military discount to all active military members as well as our country’s veterans. Military members will receive our senior rate on national and international touring shows. Military members will need to present a military ID, dog tags, etc. when purchasing tickets.
 
  • More shows!
    Patrons have asked for more shows and they’ve got it! This year the TCA announced the Michigan Homegrown Project and the theater’s goal to host 75 events each year that focus on celebrating local Tecumseh area and Michigan artists including (but not limited to) music, dance, readings, cinematic productions and theatrical performances. This is in addition to offering a longer touring show season.
 
All of these new patron benefits are part of the Tecumseh Center for the Arts’ Michigan Homegrown Project. The TCA Michigan Homegrown Project was created to emphasize the importance of sharing the theater stage with local artistic groups while building lasting relationships between arts organizations and patrons for many years to come. It is the goal of The TCA Michigan Homegrown Project to host 75 events each year that focus on celebrating the arts in the Tecumseh community. The project also aims at increasing the number of patrons who visit the theater each year while strengthening and developing meaningful relationships with partner organizations. The project also includes the partnership with local art galleries and artists to display their artwork in the TCA lobby during performances.
