We are excited to announce that our beautifully expanded and renovated venue will open in September. Enhancements include many sound/lighting/video improvements, new carpeting and curtains, a fresh coat of paint, an expanded and upgraded kitchen, expanded parking and washrooms, many accessibility features, amazing public art throughout the building and the addition of the Murray Family Public Library.
New deCoste Chairs
We also plan to replace our theatre seating, which is over 15 years old. After an exhaustive search, we have found a perfect product that is a professional theatre chair, that also has the flexibility to be used for the many other types of events we host (meetings, weddings, awards banquets, graduations etc.). This premium seat, pictured here, costs $250 more than the regular stackable chairs we have used in the past. We are seeking your help to raise the funds to go with the best seats possible. We have set a goal to raise the required $100,000 by December 31st, 2024. We invite donations at three tiers:
SOLO PERFORMER ($250)
- Contribution to purchasing one seat with a tax receipt for $250.
- 1 Year of Recognition through digital and social media acknowledgements and a future printed program book.
DYNAMIC DUO ($500)
- Contribution to purchasing two seats with a tax receipt for $500.
- 2 Years of recognition through digital and social media acknowledgements and a future printed program book.
FAMILY & FRIENDS ($1000)
- Contribution to purchasing four seats with a tax receipt for $1000.
- 3 Years of recognition through digital and social media acknowledgements and a future printed program book.
