The Community Aspect

We are the only rental space in Carbondale that can provide a turnkey solution for organizations that don’t want to, or can’t afford to deal with several rental companies. Launching a new, more affordable venue-rental program allows us to steward more organizations’ visions and reach greater audiences.

With increased turnover in the theatre space, it became evident that upgrading our HVAC system for better air quality, purchasing new platforming to further ensure the audiences’ safety, and purchasing new hearing-assistive technology for our patrons has become a necessity.

The Children’s Theatre Aspect

We recently partnered with SoL Children’s Theatre. All of their productions will now be performed in our theatre. It makes a lot of sense and it aligns with our mission to serve the community with theatre for all ages! SoL Theatre uses theatrical training and production in a fun, safe environment “to help children expand their self concept, inspire them to lead by example and educate them to build the social and emotional tools in order to live meaningful lives.”

There are many costs associated with bringing a new organization under our roof, including things like storage solutions, new flooring, mirrors, lighting and more.

The Accessibility Aspect

We intend to provide an even more fun and inclusive environment, by bringing our facility more in alignment with ADA guidelines.

We will begin by improving accessibility to our basement by building a lift, so it will be easy to access, no matter one’s physical abilities.  We then plan to build an ADA-compliant dressing room in the basement.

Once this building project is complete in 2023,  we will be able to welcome and partner with anyone that comes through our doors.
