"The “Reimagined: Save Your Playhouse” campaign, announced Monday by the playhouse trustees, aims to raise an “immediate and necessary $2 million” by July 30, according to the bluntly worded statement.
In addition to the fundraising goal, the campaign aims to broaden the playhouse’s presentations beyond traditional live-theater productions to achieve “a more sustainable and efficient cost structure.”
The “transformation” project, as described in the trustees’ statement, will include a slate of presentations including not only plays, but “one-night-only shows” featuring personalities from the worlds of theater, comedy, music and dance; a continuation of the Script in Hand play-reading series; an “In Conversation with …” speaker series, and new children’s programming."
