Support the Restoration of Chief Theatre

Hello! My name is Forrest Ross and I am the president of the board of directors for the Paul Bunyan Playhouse in Bemidji, Minnesota. The Paul Bunyan Playhouse owns and operates the Chief Theatre in downtown Bemidji. While the Paul Bunyan Playhouse and Chief Theatre have been staples of the Bemidji community for decades, the building has started falling into disrepair.

We are raising funds to update and repair much of the infrastructure (plumbing, ventilation, etc.) and renovation of the interior and exterior. A new awning in front of the building, repaint and repair the auditorium walls, improvements to our dressing rooms, and storage for our props and costumes are only some of the goals for this fundraiser.
