Hello All,
Latchis Arts is very excited to welcome the community back to the main theatre at our grand re-opening on October 19 at 7:30. We hope 750 of you will join us that night to enjoy the new seats and admire the surroundings. The restored zodiac ceiling is dreamy and the new lighting on the murals is stunning. I am truly grateful for the community-wide love and care for this theatre, built by my family 75 years ago.
Last night the Latchis Arts board of directors held a work bee, tapping in the inscribed brass plates on the arms of the chairs that donors had purchased. Reading the names and phrases of our friends and neighbors gave us a real appreciation for your level of participation. Fully $142,500 is represented by those brass plates scattered throughout the orchestra and balcony. Give yourselves a round of applause!
One of the plates is from the Bad Girls Book Club (you know who you are!) and it made me think about all the other groups out there who could band together to buy a seat. Book groups, choruses, orchestras, knitting groups, writing salons, golf or tennis foursomes, other boards of directors, the possibilities are endless. Pass the hat! Pooling resources is a no-stress way to support the rest of the campaign and show you care about culture and community in our town. The price points are $250, $500, and $1000.
The campaign only needs $26,000 to finish. Send your checks to Latchis Arts, 50 Main Street, Brattleboro, VT 05301, or bring them with you to our grand re-opening with Ken Burns on Saturday night.
Thank you,
Anne Latchis
