Hello Friends of the Commercial Street Theatre Project –

We unfortunately write to let you know that it appears as if our journey on this project has come to an end.

As you know, after we were unable to reach our goal through the Indiegogo campaign, we didn’t necessarily feel like we were finished pursuing this community venue. We were contacted by several groups and individuals who asked us to keep trying, and we were contacted by some fundraising folks who said they could help us raise the money. With this new information, we went before City Council on August 12th and asked them to allow us more time. They voted…we lost.

We are disappointed that we weren’t able to realize this venue for the community, but we are proud of our efforts and your support. If we regroup and try to move forward with a new plan, we will be in touch.

Thank you.

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful summer!

Sincerely,

The CSTP committee:

Dear Commercial Street Theatre Project Supporters-–

We would like to thank everyone who contributed and spread the word. Our Indiegogo campaign concluded with $50,419 pledged and approximately 600 people showing their financial support for this community venue. Because this was a fixed funding campaign and we did not reach our goal, all the pledges have been refunded.

We are proud of our efforts and your support, and we are not sure we are done yet. We are exploring other ways to realize this downtown arts space. We welcome all feedback and invite suggestions. We will update you as soon as we know more. In the meantime, you can keep spreading the word and engaging others in conversations about getting behind this project.

Once again, thank you for your support.
