McKinney Performing Arts Center revenue totals Revenue totals include ticket sales, space rentals, donations and more.
Cindy Schneible, president of the McKinney Community Development Corp., said the center contributes to the city’s economic health while also making downtown “such a special place.” The MCDC funded renovations to the building in the 2000s and since then has awarded promotional grants to organizations using the facility, such as the McKinney Repertory Theatre. “Updating it to continue its stature as a crown jewel is something very important to the MCDC,” Schneible said. Davina Gazo Stampfel, executive director of the McKinney Repertory Theatre, said she was excited for the permanent stage that’s being added to the theater space. “We were the first to perform there in 2006,” Stampfel said. “It’s been our home ever since, and the very first show that was done there was ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ because it honored the courthouse’s legacy.”
