Take A Seat

Leave a lasting legacy at McGregor Hall

The completion of McGregor Hall Performing Arts Center in 2016 marked a milestone for Henderson and the Kerr Lake region — and now, you can be part of that legacy through our Take A Seat campaign. Your donation supports the continued growth of the arts in our community while commemorating your contribution with a personalized brass plaque in our 1,000-seat theater.

Purchase a Seat

Make your mark in the heart of Henderson

With your $1,000 tax-deductible donation, an engraved brass plaque bearing your message will be permanently affixed to one of McGregor Hall’s theater seats. Each plaque may honor a loved one, recognize an organization, or celebrate a special milestone — making it a lasting part of the arts in Henderson. Donations may be paid in one lump sum or in four installments over one year. Seat designations are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
