Deane Center for the Performing Arts

This year, the Deane Center for the Performing Arts proudly 🙌 celebrates 15 years as the heart of Wellsboro's cultural community. Since 2011, our stages and spaces have come alive with concerts, theatre, dance, art exhibits, classes, and gatherings that bring people together and enrich lives across Tioga County and beyond.

For fifteen years, the Deane Center has been more than a building, it has been a place where creativity flourishes, friendships grow, and community thrives.

           Every step of the way. . .

You have been part of the story.           

You are the reason we do what we do! 

Providing programs, entertainment, and space for you is at the heart of what we do at the Deane Center. Our spaces host music lessons and recitals, meetings and special events, concerts and festivals, which create life-long memories and strengthen our community.

Will you help us reach our goal of $5000 to support our 2026 programming?

From the very young, to the young at heart ❤️, the Deane Center offers programs to engage community members of all ages. Our FREE programs, Deane Little Beans and Golden Afternoons, offer children and senior citizens a monthly opportunity to experience music and the arts in a casual setting. Our outdoor summer concert series, held during Wellsboro's First Fridays, are FREE and family friendly. History Comes Alive on the stage of the Coolidge Theatre, where the stories of key historical figures are told by the characters themselves. This educational experience is free to students! 

 We are committed to bringing a variety of musical performances to Tioga County - Bluegrass, Jazz, Blues, Dance Parties, Classic Rock Cover Bands, and more. These concerts bring our community together in celebration of the performing arts in all its varieties. Ticket prices alone do not cover the cost of bringing these concert performances to our community. And, while we strive to find sponsors to cover the cost of these shows, it is often difficult to find enough corporate sponsors for every concert.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will help us fulfill our 2026 programming goals.
