Why We Need Your Support
The Laurel Little Theatre's renovation is not merely about cosmetic upgrades; it's about preserving a vital community asset and ensuring its viability for generations to come. Our current facilities, while charming in their own right, are showing their age. We face challenges including:

Outdated Seating: Many seats are uncomfortable, worn, and in need of replacement. Improving seating will enhance the audience experience, encouraging greater attendance and ensuring comfort for all patrons.
-
Aging Infrastructure: Behind the scenes, our electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC systems are outdated and inefficient. These upgrades are critical for safety, sustainability, and reducing operational costs.
-
Accessibility Improvements: Making the theatre fully accessible to people with disabilities is a paramount goal. This includes improving ramp access, widening doorways, installing accessible restrooms, and providing assistive listening devices.
-
Improved Lighting and Sound: Upgrading our lighting and sound systems is crucial for enhancing the quality of our productions. Modern equipment will allow us to stage more technically complex and visually stunning performances.
-
Enhanced Backstage Facilities: Our backstage areas are cramped and lack adequate storage space. Expanding and improving these spaces will create a more comfortable and efficient workspace for our actors, technicians, and crew.
