Title Series Sponsor

Welcome to the Schuster Center and Premier Health Broadway in Dayton!

Dayton Live is proud to welcome the national tour of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF to the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center as part of Premier Health Broadway in Dayton. 

Our gratitude to Premier Health as the sponsor of the Broadway in Dayton series is immense. We couldn’t do what we do here at Dayton Live without them. Their ongoing commitment to Dayton Live is integral to our success – and to the well-being of our community.

Thanks again to Lexus of Dayton for joining us this season as the Official Luxury Vehicle of Premier Health Broadway in Dayton. Please thank them for their support and commitment to Dayton Live and the arts in Dayton. Our appreciation also goes to WHIO TV7 and WHIO News Talk radio, the official media sponsors of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

As we near the end of our fiscal year, I want to thank all our generous donors and sponsors. YOU bring the arts to Dayton’s youth, present life-changing performances, and maintain our venues, the diamonds of the Gem City. If you have yet to make your impact on the arts in Dayton, now is the perfect time to do so. As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), your gift is vital to our mission. Thank YOU!  

There is just one more show that is a part of the 21-22 series package - JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR in August. The 2022-2023 lineup for Premier Health Broadway in Dayton is getting all sorts of attention. While the renewal deadline for existing season ticket holders has passed, it’s not too late to sign up for the new season! Get ready for AIN’T TOO PROUD – THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS, Disney’s FROZEN, PRETTY WOMAN, and ANASTASIA, as well as the return of LES MIZ and LEGALLY BLONDE. Get more information at the box office or at our website at daytonlive.org.

Thank you for joining us for FIDDLER ON THE ROOF - and for supporting the arts in Dayton!
