Just a week into its Building Improvement Challenge, The Colonial Theatre is already halfway to its goal of raising $10,000 in 60 days. Striving for a deadline of Mar. 27 (World Theatre Day), the theatre is still taking donations to help get to the finish line.  

One of The Colonial Theatre’s loyal donors, who wishes to remain anonymous, has challenged supporters to donate to the Building Improvement Fund, and all gifts will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000.

These essential funds will double all contributions and finance urgent projects in The Colonial’s two historic buildings, ensuring a safe and beautiful venue for years to come. All donations are fully tax-deductible and directly support restoration projects in the historic Colonial Theatre.
