Volunteers are at the core of the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center’s operation and a vital component to the overall success of this facility. Each and every Strand-Capitol volunteer offers their own individual contribution to the center whether they are assisting patrons to their seats, serving refreshments, folding letters, making copies or offering a “Welcome” and a smile. But at the heart of every Strand-Capitol volunteer is one common trait: a passion for the arts in the community.
Honor or memorialize an important star in your life and support the performing arts in the York community at the same time. An engraved brick paver with your personal message provides permanent recognition in the main entryway of the Strand. 
The outdoor entranceway to the Strand boasts the names and personalized messages of many Strand-Capitol supporters. The engraved brick campaign began during the major renovations to the Center in 2000. It is still a unique way to help support York’s premier home for the performing arts – while space lasts!
An engraved paver is a wonderful way to be recognized for your support of York’s beloved theaters. Purchasing an engraved brick can also be a meaningful gift that:
- Reminds the person you love of special evenings spent together at “York’s cultural jewel.”
- Honors the performing arts fan who has everything.
- Demonstrates your affection and support of a volunteer, board member or any other individual who is fond of the Strand-Capitol and the arts in our community.
Longtime volunteers Joy and Dennis Baublitz sponsored their brick reasoning, “the Strand-Capitol has always played an important part in our lives and we wanted to support the Center with a donation that also makes a lasting impression. Years from now our brick will still be here for all to see how special this place is to us.”
Bricks can be ordered with a tax-deductible donation of $500 (4”x8” size ) or $1,000 (8”x8” size). Our payment plan allows for affordable periodic automatic charges to your credit card. Meanwhile, your brick is ordered and installed (weather permitting!) upon receipt of your down payment.
