Dear Patrons of the Arts,

You will not believe your eyes when you see what we are doing over here at Flux Vertical Theatre. We started out with a huge open concrete floor, a shitty little bathroom and a big ambitious goal. Now we have a fully sprung floor, half a hardwood floor and a giant hole in the ground which one day will have plumbing in it.

We are getting closer to our vision but there is still much to do. We have been told that this unit used to be occupied by Berkeley Farms and that it once processed meat, cheese, milk and ICE CREAM!!!!! Because of this our floor was a nightmare. Think skate park for hamsters. Now, with the direction of our dear friend Aaron, from Little Boxes Theatre, we have a level floor! This was not an easy feat let me tell you what, but now we can officially say that your knees and backs will be protected when you jump around and dance on our sprung floor. This was something we would not compromise on and was extremely important to us to keep you all safe.

Then comes the application of Hardwood over that. We are about half way done and it is looking amazing!!! We have paid for material but so far most of the work has been a labor of love and we would love the opportunity to pay the hardworking people involved in this project. Please help us give our workers what they deserve.

And before we can finish the floor we will need to install a ramp at both entrances up to our 5inch sprung floor (per ADA requirements) with hand railings and guardrails. The custom railings alone are $7,000.

Our bathroom is currently being upgraded although right now it doesn't look like much of anything after we gutted out the entire thing. Demo was fun! We got to hit shit. But we also discovered that this particular area of our unit was a deep freezer and was surrounded 360 degrees in 2 layers of thick foam boards under a layer of concrete in the ceiling, in the walls and also in the floor. But it is on its way to becoming a bathroom with 4 gender neutral restrooms. So here is where you come in. We now have to choose between ugly vinyl or beautiful tiled floors. Help us beautify this space by allowing a tile job to happen! We don't have enough funds for the tile but it would be so nice!!! We priced out tile to be around $7,000 for materials and install.

So that's all, just 4,000 sqft of flooring for you all to walk on and dance on and laugh and cry on! Let's get it on!
