The Olde Coloma Theatre is pleased to announce that we have been granted funds by the Latrobe Fund, for a much-needed project!

Because of the generosity and kind support of our historic Melodrama theatre, by the grantors at the Latrobe Fund; the Board of Directors will begin the refurbishment and replacement of two of our three curtain systems, here in the building.

Previously, the Red Curtain was replaced by Beth LaBean and Dorothy Fielden, in-time for the 45th anniversary of the Theatre in 2017. Yes folks, they hand-made our beautiful Rec Curtain!

The Theatre will now undertake a similar project to refurbish our brilliantly-colored Green Curtain. And completely replace our Black Curtain, as well. All in time for the 55th anniversary celebration, which will begin this January!

These curtain systems are used daily, for both our Gold Rush educational performances. As well as from May to December each year, for our classic Melodrama productions!

The Board of Directors wishes to thank Liz Drummond, at the Latrobe Fund. For kindly guiding us through the process to apply for funds. And to our Costume Director Beth LaBean, and former-President Maria Williams, who both began this relationship with the Latrobe Fund in 2020.

We look forward to the General Public seeing the progress come to life, with this project. And we thank the Latrobe Fund for supporting Community Theatre. Local nonprofits. And of course, the art of Melodrama!

The Olde Coloma Theatre was recently granted funds, by two private donors, to be able to upgrade our sound and lighting systems here at the Theatre.

Brand new lighting elements, special effects spots, operating computer programs and the devices to run them; we're all purchased from these granted funds.

What's more, certified electricians from Carnahan Electrical, here in El Dorado County, helped connect our new lighting systems. Augmenting the Theatre's older power grid with new components as well.

Our Technical Director, Ruby Jean De Quiroz, along with our Facilities Manager Alisha Murry began the process last week. With Board Members Jesse Wattson, Rachel Wattson and Amy Weber, assisting Ruby with light connectivity and troubleshooting, this week.

A huge thank you to the tech experts at PCT in Auburn, for their assistance with lights, designs, and several "house calls!"

A true team effort! And the largest, most complete technical upgrade to our "Grande Old Lady," in decades!
Thanks to all, for an amazing new world of imagination for our Melodramas!
