Naming Opportunities at the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center
A named seat creates a living legacy for you and your family ensuring continued enjoyment of the outstanding performances at the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center for years to come. Your named seat provides the resources to attract musicians, actors, dancers and artists now and for future generations to enjoy!
Naming opportunities are available through the ISU Foundation. Your donation will go towards presenting high-quality performances and will give you exclusive benefits for your selected theater, including
- A seat of your choice bearing a plaque with your name in perpetuity.*
- Priority ticket opportunities for your selected seats for each event.
*You may name someone in your will to take over your seats. Alternatively, you may relinquish them. This allows them to be relinquished and renamed to give someone else the chance to support the Performing Arts Center.
To be a part of this special opportunity, you can
- Contact the ISU Foundation at (208) 282-5383.
- Alternatively, if you work directly with an ISU Development Officer, please get in touch with them, and they will be able to work on securing your seats for you.
The Foundation is happy to arrange a tour of the Stephens Performing Arts Center, where you can personally select your seat from those still available in any of the three venues.

Why are seats named?
Purchasing and naming a seat in the Stephens Performing Arts Center provides an opportunity to support and promote the performing arts in Idaho, including maintaining the building and bringing high-quality performances to our venue.
What are the benefits of a named seat?
Prior to events, named seatholders will be allowed to purchase tickets for their seats for that event. If the seat holder chooses not to purchase tickets, the seat will then be offered to the general public.
The name of your choice will be engraved into an elegant brass nameplate which will be affixed to the arm seat. Impressive yet tasteful, your nameplate will be an enduring public statement of your support for the performing arts in Idaho.
