What People Are Saying:

“Chevron is proud to be a part of a one-of-a-kind event like the Chevron Family Theatre Festival, and this year’s festival shows why – it’s a fun, accessible event that brings the local community together for a great summer day of entertainment to share with their families. The Lesher Center for the Arts put on a great show for all ages this year, and we look forward to being part of it and seeing the smiles again next year.”­

- Gary Fisher, event chair and Chevron General Manager, Corporate Public Policy 

"From the opening ribbon cutting ceremony to handing out the very last balloon, the nearly 6,500 guests of all ages had a day they'll never forget at this year's Chevron Family Theatre Festival. With sold-out theatre performances and exciting outdoor stage shows, intimate storytelling and dynamic ‘Prince and Princess walks,’ it was an incredible day all around”­

- Scott Denison, LCA General Manager
