Michael P. Price Endowment
After nearly five decades at the helm, Michael
Price left Goodspeed as a fiscally sound and artistically thriving institution.
The Michael Price Endowment Fund was established to recognize and
institutionalize his nearly half-century of leadership of our theatre. The fund
supports Goodspeed’s core mission by helping to produce one mainstage musical
each season. Please join us in looking forward to many more years of
theatrical magic by investing in Goodspeed’s future and generously supporting
The Michael Price Endowment Fund at Goodspeed Musicals.
