About us
Located on Market Street in downtown Harrisburg, Whitaker Center is Central PA’s premier destination for entertainment and education. From hands-on science in our Harsco Science Center, to a premium large format movie experience in Select Medical Digital Cinema, to live performances inside Sunoco Performance Theater there’s always something exciting going on at Whitaker Center! As a non-profit organization, Whitaker Center is not self-sustaining. We rely on donations from those who support first-class learning experiences, inspiring live performances, and amazing films. If you're interested in making an outright or planned gift or a company interested in supporting your community and reaching new patrons, we have a variety of giving options to meet your needs.

In times of tragedy, we find strength in the partnerships that shape our communities. UPMC has long been a leader in healthcare innovation and education, and their support of Surgery Live! at Whitaker Center is just one reflection of their deep commitment to inspiring the next generation of medical professionals. As we mourn the recent tragedy that has impacted our region, we also take a moment to recognize UPMC’s dedication—not just to healing inside hospital walls, but to shaping a healthier, more informed, and connected community. Their impact is lasting, their work is invaluable, and we are grateful for their partnership. Thank you, UPMC Pinnacle Foundation. #UPMC #CommunityHealth #HealingTogether
