Esteemed Donors of The Marjorie Luke Theatre
We are deeply indebted to our lead donors – Anthony Edwards and The Bryan Family, for their generous, visionary support. Anthony Edwards’ gift of $600,000 enabled him to name the auditorium. For the naming of the theatre, he chose to honor his former drama teacher at Santa Barbara Junior High School – Marjorie Luke. The foyer is known as the Bryan Family Foyer in recognition of this family’s generosity.
“It may appear that this donation and naming of the Theater is a gift from me. The truth is being able to do this is a tremendous gift to me. I am so honored to have the opportunity to say thank you in such a permanent and appropriate way. Everyone can name the one or two people who had a profound influence on their lives. I am one of thousands of kids who were lucky enough to fall into Marjorie Luke’s inspiration. A love and respect for the arts through the magic of the theater is something she taught everyday because she was genuinely committed to the importance of art in education to make a whole human being.
I am pleased to announce that this performing arts center will be named in honor of Marjorie Luke. Santa Barbara is a special community where important things like the renovation of this beautiful theater can happen. I’m so happy to know that young people of all diversities will be welcome to explore and participate in the enlightening world of the performing arts.”
-Anthony Edwards
“Our children, Ken, Kathleen, Jon and Juliet, were fortunate to have been students at Santa Barbara Junior High School during the years Marjorie Luke was Drama teacher. The whole family benefited from participation in the stage productions. The friendships they made have endured, and the lessons learned went far beyond theater. We are delighted to support The Marjorie Luke Theatre. May it bring pleasure to generations of young people and their families.”
Joyce and Roland Bryan – Sponsors of The Bryan Family Foyer
”“Creating live theatre is like blowing bubbles. They burst into the wind, vibrant, colorful and exciting, and then they disappear. All that is left are memories of the experience. One of the most wonderful rewards of The Luke is being able to walk in, again and again, and see the outcome of our hard work and passion…to be able to touch the tiles and curtains and kiosk and seats…and know it will be there to inspire future generations when I am gone.”
