The Comprehensive Campaign
for the Black Rep
Phase I Completed
Phase II Begun! |
Phase II Campaign
- $2,750,000 Goal
2007 - 2010
Phase I of the Comprehensive Campaign for the Black Rep was
successfully completed under the enthusiastic and dedicated
leadership of Campaign Co-Chairs Frederick Butler and Neil Steinberg,
and Campaign Steering Committee Members Patrick Canning, Lisa
Churchville, Laura DiSano, David Duffy, Casby Harrison, Diana
Johnson, Douglas Johnson, Beverly Ledbetter, Arthur Robbins,
and Michael Van Leesten. The $2,400,000 raised enabled the purchase
of the 276 Westminster Street Building and construction of a
lobby, café, convening space, performance space and administrative
offices.
Fueled by the momentum of these accomplishments, the Black
Rep is now advancing to the second phase of its campaign.
In March 2007, the Black Rep began its three-year, $2,750,000
Phase II Campaign, which will enable vital rehabilitation
and construction at the 276 Westminster Street Building. Contributions
to the Phase II Campaign will support work on:
· building
façade
· new main stage theater
· rehearsal space
· classroom space
· internal upgrades
· administrative offices
· conference reception area
(For specific Phase II funds needed, see below)
-- and will create an unrestricted Vision Fund to strengthen
and build organizational capacity for advancing the Black
Rep’s artistic and social mission.
The Black Rep serves over 80,000 audience members annually,
while each summer Sound Session attracts over 50,000 people.
In order to continue providing cultural programs that benefit
this community, our physical home must evolve. A newly renovated
facility will allow Black Rep to continue in its role as a
vital and meaningful regional asset.
