The Erie Playhouse is excited to brighten the holidays for families supported by Community Shelter Services + NEW THIS YEAR: you’ll have the option to give online from anywhere!
Our Angel Tree located in the Playhouse lobby is named Thomas in memory of Msgr. Thomas McSweeney who earned his wings this year. We will display tags for everyone who donates a gift card or monetary donation. Our wish is to give a gift card to every CSS resident this Christmas season.

You can visit Thomas the Angel Tree during December performances of FROZEN: gift cards and donations will be accepted December 1 – 22. Coming soon: you can also make your donation online here.
