ON WITH THE SHOW!  2010-2011 Season Fund Drive!

T

he Fox Playhouse has a new face! Easily opened, accessible doors have recently been installed in the theater entrance. This is the latest and most visible enhancement to the theater since the completion of the Green Room. How many of you have struggled with the old heavy doors? Struggle no more! The doors were funded through a grant from the Finis M. Moss Charitable Trust.

 Additional signs of continued progress over the last year include:

« The Elizabeth Carey Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) donated flag stands and flags to adorn both sides of the stage.

« Handrails were installed on the steps between the backstage and the Green Room, providing much-needed safety enhancements for our actors.

« A new refrigerator was installed in the concession stand in the lobby.

« Significant duct work was done in the lobby and concession area to provide improved temperature control for the comfort of our patrons.

 The future of the Fox Playhouse depends on generous supporters like you!

 The CCPA Board of Directors works diligently to manage its annual budget both to maintain the theater and to make improvements that are so necessary with historic buildings. Sometimes the effort to keep the Fox open seems very difficult until we look at how far we have come since taking the big step in purchasing the beloved old theater as its permanent home in 2003. Your annual support as a patron of the arts is vital to ensuring that productions at the Fox continue to be staged. CCPA has a proven track record of using funds wisely to run the business of Community Theater—all without increasing ticket prices for many years.

 The 2010-2011 season begins in September with something new—a Youth Showcase, featuring the talents of local youth, then Dark Rituals, a thriller just right for October, Sounds of the Season Community Choir concert in December, the comedy Catholic School Girls in February, followed by the comedy Queen of Bingo in April, a Summer Fun Community Choir concert in May, and, to wrap up the season, Harvey, a comedy, at the end of June. There is something for everyone!

 Please, ACT NOW;  print a donation form and mail the form and your check to CCPA today! Send your donation by August 31, 2010, and your name will be included in the program booklets for each show of the 2010-11 season.  All donations are also listed on this website under Donors Your gift, no matter the size, helps to keep home grown community theater ALIVE.

Who is CCPA?
CCPA - Community Council on the Performing Arts - dedicated to providing quality cultural entertainment to Nevada and surrounding communities, through local talent from those communities.

How large is the fundraising goal?
$6,000; your donation is fully tax-deductible.  CCPA will use donations this year to fund our programming season and continue renovations at the Fox Playhouse.  We also have a wish list of needed equipment, should you be interested in making a specific contribution.   

Who are your officers and Board of Directors?

For 2010-2011:

  • President - Ken Jones
  • Vice-President - Carol Branham
  • Secretary - Rhonda Farmer
  • Treasurer - Renda Armstrong
  • Board Members:  Anne Bunton, Linda Coonrod, John Scarborough, Tom Schmidt, Susan Thompson

How will you use the funds?

The funds raised this year will go toward operating expenses, as the organization faces increasing utility and maintenance costs for the theater in addition to the funding needs for each production.  CCPA also continues to meet its obligation to pay down its long term debt stemming from the original cost of acquiring and renovating the Fox Playhouse.  In a very real sense your contribution this year will keep the curtain going up.

Our Wish List:  CCPA has needs in the area of technical equipment for theater productions.  If you are interested in making a donation toward the purchase of technical equipment, please let us know how to contact you!  Email today!

What will CCPA accept as donations?

  • Cash or check, in any amount - no donation too small or too large
  • Materials and labor for ongoing renovation of the Fox Playhouse

How will my gift be recognized?

Donations received before Aug. 31, 2010, are recognized with the donor's name in the season program booklets.  Gifts will also be recognized on an ongoing basis for this fund drive year on this website.  Click here for a list of donors.  The donor's designated name appears on theater seats and bricks.
