Doug Lane will be the first to tell you the gift wasn’t a carefully considered philanthropic strategy. There was no committee. No months of deliberation. No detailed prospectus spread across a conference table. There was a tour of a building still wrapped in scaffolding, a conversation with the right person, and then — somewhere around the first floor — a look exchanged between him and his wife Gay that said everything without saying anything at all.

For Joe and Corey Bergstein, a theater is about much more than what happens on stage. It’s a place where a child might see their first performance. Where an emerging artist might step in front of an audience for the first time. Where families laugh together, students discover something new and members of the community gather for an experience they won’t soon forget. Soon, those moments will have a new home inside the ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL.
