The “Wheeler Wins” program was launched in November by the Wheeler Opera House as a way to make shows more affordable and provide other benefits. There are more than 400 members so far.
Wheeler executive director Gena Buhler said the membership numbers are encouraging.
That’s especially important to her because last week, the City of Aspen gave the Wheeler Opera House over $100,000 to help bring in bigger acts. The money came from the real estate transfer tax.
Buhler said the money will help draw larger crowds to the venue, while not pricing people out of tickets. The idea of the Wheeler Wins program was to make shows more accessible.
