Guess what? We’re transitioning to a new ticketing platform designed with your convenience in mind.
This new platform is more mobile-friendly, supports Apple Pay, and offers a smoother checkout process. No more waiting in line at the box office when you already have a ticket, no passwords to remember, and lots of other great perks to come. We are aiming to streamline the process for a better experience for all.
However, during this transition period, we ask for your patience and understanding as we are all learning a new system.
Some events will still be on our older platform, while other events may be on the new one. Currently, “Moonlit Masquerade” and “One Night with Albee” are available on our new platform. If you notice any differences in the ticketing experience, this is the reason behind it.
Please note that this switch will also result in changes to processing and ticketing fees due to varying requirements of each platform.
Thank you for your patience and support during this transition. We’re confident these changes will improve your overall experience!
Get ready for an enchanting evening at the Moonlit Masquerade:! 🌙✨
Join us for a mystical costume ball fundraiser on November 2, 2024, from 7 PM to 11 PM at The CENTER for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. Tickets are just $25!

We are so grateful to everyone who attended last night’s Evening of Gratitude and for all who made it possible during this very difficult time Despite our sadness over such a great loss, it was wonderful to see the faces of so many great friends of The CENTER and to have the opportunity to express our gratitude and honor treasured volunteers. Last night, we accomplished some much needed “catching up” and recognized three individuals that are very special to us, the winners of the Rodney Plimpton Award for Distinguished Service for the past 3 years. This is a recognition for individuals who have gone above and beyond to support The CENTER. The winners were Karyn Morehouse, Liz Langan, and Ryan Dutcher. Ryan was also our host for the evening (we surprised him with his award!) Many thanks to the Board of Directors for all of their hard work. And of course a huge thank you to Pablo Paul Schubert and Maria B. Hickey for providing the beautiful soundtrack of the evening.
Join us July 13th as we show our appreciation to our members and honor dedicated volunteers with a FREE evening of live music, entertainment, complimentary food and drink, and a fabulous silent auction. Not a CENTER Member yet? Become one today by visiting our site! 📲
