We are going to keep saying it—we are 50! And, we are celebrating A 50th Anniversary Unlike Any Other.
Our Dancers are back rehearsing—although we still have no plans to perform in a full, live, concert setting —we are taking this time to do some of the much needed behind the scenes work. In July we raised money to buy three cameras and live streaming technology. That investment has already allowed us to create The Dancer Diaries (tickets here), our first-ever virtual Granny Dances to a Holiday Drum, (29th Season tickets on sale October 15!), and support some of our partner companies.
For our next investment, we need your help once again—we need to rebuild our CPRD Theatre Stage! It has seen so many dancers over its 30 years in the historic Shorter AME Church, and instead of just reinforcing it, we are gathering enough support from individuals like you to give the care it needs by rebuilding and replacing it.
Thanks to Maude Lofton for taking the lead on this work, we are off and running. Can you help match her initial gift? The total cost to rebuild our stage, replace our Marley (the specialized dance floor), and our traveler curtain is $14,000. We are looking to raise $7,000 between today and October 31 with a goal to rebuild the stage this December.
Join us and help us set the stage, or in this case, build the stage, for our triumphant return! Thank you and keep dancing!
