Elsewhere Society
While attempting to raise money for the 1983 season, Pocket Opera’s management continually received polite declines, suggesting that they look “elsewhere” for funding. So, they looked to long-time loyal supporters, the audience, for assistance and … The Elsewhere Society was born!
The Elsewhere Society members listed here have made gifts of $300 or more to Pocket Opera between July 2023 and October 2024. They receive priority seating at all performances, advance season notice, invitations to VIP events and, of course, our gratitude.
