Stage4All
Creating a lasting legacy for stories that deserve to be heard.
Stage4All is a dedicated fund that Pentacle Theatre is growing to create the Brown-Jolivette Endowment Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation. This endowment will provide a lasting source of support for theatrical productions and programs that amplify the stories, voices, and experiences of underrepresented minorities and marginalized people.
We believe theatre has the power to help us see the world through someone else’s eyes—to build understanding, foster empathy, celebrate diverse experiences, and create meaningful connections within our community.
The Brown-Jolivette Endowment will provide resources to support theatrical productions written by and/or about underrepresented minorities and marginalized groups, as well as sponsorships, special events, and related activities that advance this purpose.
Building a Legacy
Stage4All is the account where donations and other revenue—including grants, investment earnings, and related income—are collected as we build toward establishing the endowment. Once Stage4All reaches the required funding threshold, Pentacle Theatre will establish the Brown-Jolivette Endowment Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation.
An endowment allows today’s generosity to become tomorrow’s opportunity. By building Stage4All into a permanent endowment, we can create an ongoing resource to support inclusive storytelling and representation on Pentacle’s stage for generations to come.
Why It Matters
Stories have the ability to change how we see ourselves—and how we see one another. By creating more opportunities for the stories of people who have historically been underrepresented or pushed to the margins to be heard and celebrated, Pentacle Theatre can help enrich the performing arts in the Salem area and contribute to a more inclusive and empathetic community.
Your gift to Stage4All helps us build that future.

The story: A Broadway hit first produced on the West End under the title Gaslight and filmed twice, Angel Street tells the story of the Manninghams, who live on Angel Street in 19th-century London. As the curtain rises, all appears to be the essence of Victorian tranquility. It is soon apparent, however, that Mr. Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly driving his gentle, devoted wife, Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness that masks more sinister motives. While he is out, Mrs. Manningham has an unexpected caller: amiable, paternal Inspector Rough from Scotland Yard. Rough is convinced that Mr. Manningham is a homicidal maniac wanted for a murder committed 15 years earlier in this very house. Gradually, the inspector restores Bella’s confidence in herself and, as the evidence against Manningham unfolds, the author has built and sustained some of the most brilliant, suspenseful sequences in modern theatre.
Cast List:
Mrs. Manningham – Delaney Sump
