THEATER FUNDRAISING COUNTDOWN

From the Auction Gala, to the grant from PCCRA, to the individual donations ranging from $5 to $5000, we have inched our way toward our new home. The front door is in sight! Now, with time slipping by, we are asking once more for your support. We have until August to raise $120,000 -- just to get in that door. Our Tater Patch Players friends and patrons are the key that will let us step inside. Please see articles about our activities throughout the website. Check out the "Our Hopes for the Future" video. The Fundraising tab tells you how to be a part of unlocking that door.

The clock is ticking

By Nan · Comments (1)

…… on our fundraising project.  We have arranged a 90 day extension with the sellers, but that means we absolutely have to raise all our funds no later than August.   To answer the questions we have been asked — our original goal was $400,000.  That would get us in the building, with no loan, add a rehearsal/dressing room building on the back, and give us a little cushion so we could breathe moderately easily for the first year.  We have not yet raised enough to do this.  But this building, currently the home of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, on Cove Road,  is the Community Theater you in Pickens County deserve.   A place that will serve you with more quality entertainment than ever before,  youth activities, meetings, movies, and music.

With lowered expectations,  and the good prospect of a small loan from a local bank,  we can still be in that building, with no dressing area and no financial cushion for the troupe with $120,000 more.    For all those who have said,  “Tater Patch should have…. ”   or  “I wish there were a space nearby we could use for…..”    THE TIME IS NOW.   We need your help.   Our Board members have already committed their time and donations to this project, as have many of our friends and supporters.  For those who wish to give, but have not yet, please go to the Fundraising tab on the website and learn how.   Watch the video to the right of this article to learn more about our hopes.  Go to the online photos tab above and see photos of the future home of Tater Patch Players.  Imagine!  A place for great theater, youth activities, music, classes and meetings, less than a mile from downtown.   Please, donate now.

Auction Gala Wrapup

By Nan · Comments (0)

Evil Eye Fleagle and some "glam"  auction the artwork! First, thanks to all of you who helped with and came to our Auction Gala!   We want thank all of our auction item donors, and our food and refreshment donors — Ably Asian Cuisine, The Woodbridge Inn, The Fireside Cafe and Pub, and Trout’s Beverages.  When you visit any of these places, thank them for helping Tater Patch Players!  Over 100 bidders came, saw and bid like mad on wonderful items.  Many left with bargains, some left empty handed — all left happy.  Financially the auction  was very successful, and the $20,000 Capital Grant from PCCRA presented at the start of the festivities, was like icing on the cake.  Read More→
