Good from the inside out

All Wealthy Theatre Centennial apparel was made in the USA - downtown Los Angeles to be specific! And printed on South Division by Grand Rapids' own Citizen Shirt!

Our tees are American Apparel 50/50 blend - amazing quality. The hoodies are California Fleece (American Apparel) and unbelievably comfortable. It's perfect hoodie weather! Get some!

You can buy apparel on its own - we've priced them nearly at cost.

Or you can donate at one of our Support levels and get much more than apparel as our "thank-you!" For a limited time you can get a limited edition Earth Day print by Mark Rumsey *and* your donation will be matched 1:1 by The Wheeler Family Foundation!

Grand Rapids Mayor George K. Heartwell stopped by Wealthy Theatre to model our newly arrived Centennial apparel! Mayor Heartwell is a special advisor to the Wealthy Theatre Centennial Sustainability Campaign - and one of the first city leaders to promptly endorse our 30-point Centennial Sustainability Campaign!

The Mayor is pictured standing in front of our WT Earth Day prints by Mark Rumsey. Now through April 22 (Earth Day) we're thanking donors with one of these gorgeous prints for any support at the second level or higher. Plus you'd receive the normal thank-you package associated with your contribution.

In addition, the Wheeler Family Foundation generously agreed to match all donations between now an Earth Day 1:1 - so your dollars are doubled, for one week only!

We need your help! Please click here for a Rapidian article about the WT Earth Day celebration: Rockford Construction will install a 12-sided Peace Pole in our walkway at Noon on April 22, to celebrate Earth Day in a brief tribute to the late Dirk Koning. The Peace Pole installation constitutes the final phase of our walkway beautification project, funded by the good people at Dyer-Ives.

We're selling our apparel nearly at cost at the theatre. But if you really wanted to support this 100-year old community theatre, you could get apparel and much more in appreciation of your support at $50 or more - please click here to learn how you can support WT.

Alright Mayor! Thanks for supporting a great community institution!

Mayor Heartwell doesn't look like Fred Rogers, and the Wealthy Theatre hoodie doesn't look like a cardigan. Yet somehow, together, they form a very Rogersian picture. Pure snazz.

Our Mayor was cool before he put this on.
