A new chapter is soon coming for our upstairs apartments.

Meridian Contracting has been busy upstairs, restoring their historic features while giving them some much needed updates and a fresh new look. We can’t wait to show you the finished product.

We know you have been patiently waiting for our big announcement...we are excited to share that construction is almost completed, and we are entering the FINAL PUSH for fundraising!

We will be launching a crowd-granting campaign through the MEDC soon, so please stay tuned!

We are excited to welcome you back through our doors in the Fall for a grand reopening and return to live theatre in our newly updated building!

The Board of Directors deeply appreciates all of the support and love we have received since the first fire. Thank you.

Lots of progress happening inside our building over these winter months!

Downstairs, drywall and fire suppression have been installed, our new office is being built, paint colors are being selected, and kitchen cabinets are being stored for our upstairs apartments.

Upstairs, plaster has been repaired, and new heating, plumbing, and electrical is being installed.

A huge thank you to all the contractors at Meridian, G&K Plumbing and Heating, Thunder Bay Electric, and JimCO for all the work so far.

Part of the restoration of the theater building includes updating the residential apartments used by our artists. We've installed new energy-efficient windows, new electricity, and more updates to help them feel at home. There is still more to be done to purchase furniture, linens, and curtains, and apply new coats of paint before they are inhabitable.

This Giving Season, can you help us put the finishing touches on our artists' home away from home?
