Roaming Gnome Theatre (RGT) Warehouse Space Transformation Project

Hi! I'm Emmeline Niehaus, a Life Scout with Troop 262G in Denver, and I'm working toward my Eagle Scout rank — the highest achievement in Scouting America.

For my Eagle Scout service project, I'm leading a team volunteers to build a sprung floor in a new warehouse rehearsal space — a professional-grade, shock-absorbing dance surface made of foam, interlaced lumber, plywood, and Masonite across a 27'x27' concrete floor that's currently unsafe for dancers. We're also adding mirrors, curtains, risers, and lighting to complete the space.

When we're done, RGT can run multiple classes and camps simultaneously, serve more students, and fund more scholarships. More kids. More art. More opportunity.

Every dollar goes directly to materials. RGT is a 501(c)(3), so your gift is tax-deductible. Any surplus goes directly to RGT.

Arts education matters — thank you for helping make this possible.

Every dollar builds the stage — here's what your gift covers:
$5 — A box of drywall screws · need 6 boxes total
$10 — A tube of liquid nails adhesive · need 5 total
$22 — A sheet of Masonite for the finished dance surface · need 25 sheets total
$40 — A sheet of plywood for the structural base · need 25 sheets total
$45 — An 8-foot 2x4 board for the sprung floor lattice · need 125 total
$85 — A 36"×60" wall mirror so dancers can see their form · need 4 total
$213 — Shoe trim molding to finish the floor perimeter · covers 108 feet total
$273 — A full 5-gallon bucket of black stage paint · need 1
$400+ — Sponsor a set of lighting · need 4-6 sets of LED programmable lights
