For more than 70 years, Entertainment Series of Irving (ESI) has brought the joy of live performing arts to our community. Since 1955, our all-volunteer organization has presented outstanding concerts and theatrical performances that inspire, educate, and connect audiences of all ages.
We believe the performing arts have the power to change lives. That's why we are committed not only to presenting exceptional entertainment, but also to cultivating the next generation of artists and arts supporters. Through school outreach, educational workshops, affordable family ticket pricing, and our partnership with Irving Youth Theatre, we help make live performance accessible to everyone.
Every season, young people have the opportunity to experience the magic of live theatre—whether sitting in the audience for the first time or stepping onto the stage themselves. Those experiences build confidence, creativity, collaboration, and lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Because ESI is led entirely by volunteers, every donation goes directly toward creating meaningful arts experiences for our community.
Our Need
Your gift helps us:
Together, we can ensure that live music and theatre continue to inspire audiences today while nurturing the performers, volunteers, and arts patrons of tomorrow.
The Entertainment Series of Irving (ESI) is dedicated to providing the citizens of Irving, Texas, and the surrounding area with the opportunity to experience high quality, live entertainment in the form of stage shows, concerts and recitals.
Why Your Support Matters
For more than 70 years, Entertainment Series of Irving has connected our community with high-quality live entertainment. Today, our greatest need is to ensure that these experiences remain affordable, accessible, and available to audiences of all ages.
The cost of presenting professional live performances continues to rise—from artist fees and production expenses to marketing and educational outreach. At the same time, ESI is committed to keeping ticket prices affordable so that cost does not become a barrier for students, families, seniors, and community members who want to experience the performing arts.
Donor support allows ESI to bridge that gap. Contributions help us:
Present high-quality professional artists and entertainers in Irving.
Keep tickets affordable for individuals and families.
Provide special student and family ticket opportunities.
Bring artists and arts experiences into local schools through educational outreach.
Introduce new audiences and young people to the excitement of live performance.
Sustain and expand a community arts organization that has served Irving since 1955.
Your gift does more than help fund a performance—it helps make sure there is a seat in the audience for everyone.
Entertainment Series of Irving believes that the performing arts should be for everyone.
We are committed to creating welcoming arts experiences for the diverse community we serve and to reducing financial, cultural, and other barriers that can prevent individuals and families from participating in live performing arts.
Through affordable ticket options, student and family opportunities, educational outreach, and programming that celebrates a variety of artists, musical styles, cultures, and traditions, ESI works to ensure that people of different ages, backgrounds, abilities, and economic circumstances can experience the connection and joy of live performance.
We recognize that equity is an ongoing commitment. As our community continues to grow and change, ESI will continue seeking ways to broaden participation, welcome new audiences, strengthen community partnerships, and make the performing arts accessible to all.
