Door closer arms for entry doors - $222
Building storage shelving and rods for props, costumes - ??
Wish list item - more comfortable chairs - we are selling some really old ones and if we get new ones will sell current ones to help with cost. (We can start with current chairs because the essentials of opening the theatre are more important than replacing chairs.)

Mural
Murals are bringing character to the outside walls downtown and, now that we are going to be the sole residents in a corner location, we thought we'd add just a little more character...literally. We have commissioned Lucas Dickson to paint a faux stage - with curtains and all - on the side of our building, where people will be able to pose in their favorite roles in front of it.. Lucas is a very talented local artist whose work you may have seen on the stage of The Theatre Company. But, as is always the case with theatre, his work goes away when the next production comes in. We think he's amazing and we are excited to get him for a more permanent project!
