It’s Time: Capital Campaign Effort to building our Performing Arts Centre

The resounding echoes of thousands of youth that have filled our walls and hearts with light since 2011 have propelled us to this moment. We have acquired our new home as a lease with a purchase option and with the support of our community we'll be getting our full build-out underway!

The Marquee family has finally moved out of the old space and is welcoming students to the new space at 220 N. Randall Rd. We have been working tirelessly to make the space as safe and comfortable as possible for our theatre camps and workshops.

Here’s a snapshot of where we are at with this effort, and where we hope to go...

✔️Act 1: Be THEIR Light… WE DID IT-- we made it to Act2!!! With the help and support of our community, we raised nearly $300,000! We're now in Act 2 of our journey... see below to find out how to make an impact!

✨Act 2: Be THE Change…✨

As the summer months draw near, every dollar counts towards making our inviting 201-seat theatre a comfortable space all year round! Together, let's beat the heat and support our shining stars in the process!
- This phase of the build-out effort includes
  - Installing AC units ranging from temporary cooling to more permanent solutions, based on the total funding available through our fundraising efforts.
  - Raising the funds necessary for our downpayment towards a mortgage of $1,350.000 purchase of our existing building. We've raised $91,000 already with the support of our devoted patrons!

Act 3: Launch the Legacy…Continued Fundraising to refine our space and lock in purchase in July 2028.

Join our year-round events and performances to continue refining our new space and engaging the community. We look forward to meeting our campaign goal and diving into Act 3 with innovative programming, additional resources, and celebrating the arts with our community for generations to come!
- Raise up to $1.3MIL to purchase the building. Any money raised towards the purchase allows us to serve our community while keeping tuition, events, and bookings affordable for generations to come!
