We're delighted to say due to your generous donations, we've raised $1,102 towards our $3,000 goal for early contract dismissal fees. They've extended our payment deadline to late October, so any help we can get climbing towards that $3k goal is appreciated. Nox is closing up shop officially Wednesday night and we still have some goodies looking for a home in the space, drop by Wednesday evening after 6pm if you're interested! And all donations made to on Venmo are so, so appreciated. Spread the word!

It is with a heavy heart we must announce the impending closure of Nox Arca Theatre, we'll be closing up shop officially as of October 1st. With the continued shut down of live theater projected to take place well into 2021, we're just not able to continue to pay monthly lease payments for our venue and expect to keep ourselves afloat, it's no longer sustainable. We want to thank all the friends, family members and generous strangers who helped us stay open this far into 2020, we also want to thank all our patrons, renters and fellow artists who utilized this space over the years.

As part of our early release from our rental contract, we owe the building owners $3000. As you can imagine, Nox's savings are pretty well tapped, so in an effort to recoup the cost, we'll be selling some of the equipment, props and materials in the theatre, those items will be categorized and made available for sale this week. We're also accepting donations at Nox's Venmo, - if you feel moved to donate, we'd again be eternally grateful.

Nox couldn't have come this far without you all, we thank you again for your patronage. We're very proud of the years we spent there - and who knows, maybe Nox will be reborn again somewhere down the line!

With love, The Nox Arca Management Team
