Our small, but mighty board met tonight to make a game-plan for the next 12 months! We are getting so close!

Fun side note, this was the first time we’ve had our board meeting in the theatre in 6 years, we were beyond thrilled to be back in the building getting work done.

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.
