Summary
Thalian Hall just received its largest donation ever — $2 million from Howard Stein, the namesake of its new immersive performing arts venue, the Howard Stein Hippodrome. Set to debut in 2028 inside the historic Wilmington City Council chambers, this groundbreaking space will be the first of its kind in the American South, transforming floors and surroundings for unforgettable shows. Stein, a longtime fan who fondly recalls childhood visits, is also honored by the existing Ruth and Bucky Stein Theater on the second floor — now offering audiences two distinct worlds to experience. CEO Shane Fernando calls the gift transformational, poised to redefine live performance in the region. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
