THE 1916 SOCIETY
Preserving Our Past. Building Our Future.

A LEGACY WORTH SUSTAINING
Small contributions. Lasting impact.
The Mikadow has survived more than a century of changing times, changing audiences, and changing forms of entertainment. Its next chapter depends on people who believe this historic theatre deserves a future.
