Supporting MASTERPIECE, America’s Longest-Running Weekly Primetime Drama Series
MASTERPIECE premiered as MASTERPIECE Theatre in 1971 and quickly became a beloved PBS series, igniting America’s passion for classic and contemporary British stories brought to life.
MASTERPIECE is smart, edgy, and thoroughly entertaining, providing audiences with high-quality, first-rate, award-winning programs, an interactive website, an award-winning podcast and a robust social media presence.
The MASTERPIECE Trust was established in 2011 to help ensure that the iconic and celebrated series will warm the homes of audiences for another half-century and beyond. The Trust—a collaborative initiative between MASTERPIECE’S producing station GBH and PBS stations nationwide—provides the opportunity for individual donors to help provide for MASTERPIECE’s present and future in a substantial way while also supporting their local PBS stations.
Recent federal funding cuts have put the future of MASTERPIECE and the many PBS stations that carry it at risk. Support for the MASTERPIECE Trust makes a significant and tangible impact on both MASTERPIECE and affiliate PBS stations.
