$30 from 300
Evansville Civic Theatre (ECT) is a premier community theatre organization in southwestern Indiana. We are about to embark on an exciting chapter in our history that will enhance our ability to provide quality dramatic programming to the greater Evansville community, and we invite our patrons and supporters to be a part of this adventure.
For the first time in more than four decades, ECT was presented with the opportunity to acquire the adjacent property at 715 North Fulton Avenue and occupy the entire corner of Fulton and Columbia. With your help, we see this as an opportunity to improve and beautify our property and the neighborhood as a whole by purchasing this property, razing the house, expanding and paving our parking area, and increasing our exterior lighting.
We estimate investing $50,000 into this project, and the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana generously provided a matching grant for every dollar raised by ECT up to $25,000! To date, ECT has raised more than $14,000 for this project for a total of nearly $30,000 including the Arts Council's matching funds. With these funds, ECT has purchased the property and scheduled the demolition of the house.
To reach our goal and take this project over the finish line, we are asking for 300 of our loyal supporters to donate at least $30. The sooner we raise the remaining funds, the sooner you will enjoy the new and improved ECT experience! Although the theme is $30 from 300, we are grateful for donations of any size. And remember, the Arts Council will match every dollar donated!
Completing this project will elevate the quality of our patrons’, volunteers', and staff's experience by providing a more aesthetically pleasing site upon arrival, easier access to the building, and a greater sense of security. The ability to expand and improve our parking will also allow us to better serve both the seniors and the disabled in our community. With our current small, gravel lot, we are not able to provide handicapped designated parking spaces. This will be an important part of our improved lot, making our productions available to or more convenient for a large and underserved segment of our community.
We at ECT are so grateful for your support. As a token of our appreciation, everyone who donates at least $30 to this campaign will be recognized in the 2016-17 main stage production programs. Thank you for your generosity, and we look forward to seeing you this season at ECT!
