Community Highlight: The Intersection of Mixology and the Arts

Editor’s Note: The following information is presented as part of our Community Highlight, where we share organizations, businesses, and partnerships that are contributing to the San Antonio community.

In a partnership that seamlessly blends the art of handcrafted cocktails, theatre, and community giving, Bohanan’s Prime Steaks and Seafood has once again teamed up with the Majestic Empire Foundation to create a unique philanthropic initiative. This dynamic collaboration raises funds to support young theatre talent and ignite their artistic futures.

Raise a Glass, Celebrate the Stage: Bohanan’s Broadway Cocktail Series The Broadway Cocktail Series brings together the worlds of mixology and theatre in an exciting fusion. All handcrafted cocktails from Bohanan’s Classic Cocktail Menu will benefit the Majestic Empire Foundation’s Scholarship Program.

Guests can sip these time-honored cocktails before or after a Broadway Series show, enjoying them in Bohanan’s elegant courtyard, the newly renovated first floor bar, or the second floor fine dining spaces. Most importantly, a portion of every cocktail sold will directly fund the Majestic Empire Foundation’s Scholarship Program, making it possible for the next generation of theatre artists to pursue their passions.

Mark Bohanan, along with his celebrated restaurant Bohanan’s Prime Steaks and Seafood, is passionate about the significance of theatre and arts education in the community. This commitment to enhancing the cultural fabric of South Texas is exemplified by this exciting partnership—and you’re invited to be a part of it. Mark explains, “Enjoy our selection of classic cocktails, knowing that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to support the Majestic Empire Foundation: Enriching Our Community and Empowering Kids Through The Arts.”

The Majestic Empire Foundation, renowned for running the country’s largest performing arts scholarship program, plays a vital role in nurturing the artistic ambitions of high school students in San Antonio and South Texas. Since 2009, they have awarded over $1.65 million in scholarships, ensuring that the region’s young artists have the resources they need to achieve their dreams. Jaselyn Blanchard-Pace, the Executive Director of the Majestic Empire Foundation, explains, “In 2024, we had record-breaking applications: 354 Applicants from 71 different high schools across the San Antonio and South Texas Region. We awarded $153,000 to 43 audition-winning students. We hope to smash that record again in 2025, through generous partnerships like the one we have with Bohanan’s.”
