UPDATE On Friday, we will be meeting at the shop location in Parchment, not the Hayloft.
DM us for address.

We’re looking for extra hands this weekend as we load, haul, and start building the set for 1776.

Friday 5–9 PM: Meet at the Hayloft to load pieces from the Hayloft/Grain Barn, then head to the shop in Parchment.
Saturday 11 AM–7 PM: Main build day at the shop.
Come for whatever time you’re able: even an hour helps!

Lunch will be provided Saturday. And you will be listed as a builder on our program.
No special experience needed, just willingness to lift, carry, organize, build, or help wherever needed. Closed-toe shoes recommended.
Comment or DM if you can help! Or contact us through our website:

Thank you all for your continued support

We’re excited to be working with the City of Portage as part of the America 250 celebration.
Our inaugural production of 1776 will be part of that event, and we’re seeking one primary show sponsor: a local business that wants to be clearly connected to both the celebration and the launch of a new theatre company in our community.
If you or a business you know might be a good fit, please visit our website or SHARE this post.

We’re also accepting donations through our fiscal sponsor. Donors will be recognized in our program.

Auditions are just a month away!
Echo Point Performing Arts is producing 1776 as part of the city’s America 250 celebration
This production is being built from the ground up, and it’s been incredible to see the early support already coming in.
If you’ve ever wanted to see more live theatre in Portage, this is where it starts to become real.
Donations of any size help show the City, our fiscal sponsors, and future grant partners that there’s a genuine appetite for the arts here, and that this kind of work matters to the community.
If you’d like to be part of that momentum, whether by auditioning, spreading the word, or contributing, we’d love to have you involved.
