While many plays date back centuries, the aging stages and theaters that often house them cannot last as long without some help. That's why last year, the Arts Barn Legacy Campaign was established to support needed theater enhancements. The campaign is continuing the project with the refurbishment of seating in the 99-seat upper-level theater in Gaithersburg.
On Friday, Feb. 28, you can support the Arts Barn’s refurbishment project by purchasing tickets for “Conversations of Love”, a festive evening of great wine, art and jazz. Don Dillingham and Tacha Coleman Parr are set to perform. The music will be accompanied by a wine tasting, courtesy of Black Ankle Vineyards. A silent auction will also contribute to the money raised for the project. For tickets, please contact linda.bloom@gaithersburgmd.gov or call the Arts Barn at 301-258-6394.
The fundraising goal for the Adopt a Theater Seat campaign is $25,000 toward a $50,000 refurbishment plan. For more information about contributing to the program visit the website for the Arts Barn Legacy Campaign.
The Arts Barn theater supports local, regional and national musicians as well as hosts a singer-songwriter series. It brings together community and professional theater artists in partnership with the Kentlands Community Players, Montgomery Playhouse, Amazing Theatre Company, Best Medicine Rep, Rockville Musical Theatre, Damascus Theatre Company and more for a variety of performances.
