We are selling seats for Theatre Alliance’s new space! Get your name on one of our chairs! Here is a letter from our Homecoming campaign Co-Chairs, Bob and Maureen Ihrie. Details to donate are below, whether you want a chair or two or if you want to donate to our capital campaign towards our new space! Thank you for your interest in and support of Theatre Alliance!


Homecoming Capital Campaign Update

Dear Patron,

We live in turbulent times. First and foremost, we hope you and your loved ones are healthy, safe and weathering the restrictions as best as possible. Second, we want to update you on the Homecoming Capital Campaign.

The pandemic has had a major impact on most sectors of our economy, but it has struck governments, the hospitality industry and arts organizations particularly hard. It interrupted our campaign. We have two major asks outstanding, but other activity has ceased. The decrease in governmental sales tax revenues has resulted in our asks of $100,000 each of the state, county and city governments netting only the $10,000 contributed by Forsyth County last year. That situation is unlikely to change in the short run. That is the bad news. The good news is that our all-volunteer structure means we have minimal expenses, mainly the rent on our Northwest Boulevard building. And the even better news is that we have raised a total of $1.25M of our $1.5M goal!

Significant Progress Achieved

That fundraising success has enabled us to continue moving forward on the 650 W. 6th Street project. Activity over the last few months has included the following:
We held a matching gift challenge for Annual Giving in May and raised $40,000 in one month, our entire yearly goal, and added 100 first time donors
We met with our Truist bankers and they extended our interest only loan for an additional year
We hired a general contractor who completed the necessary internal demolition and is working with the electrical, plumbing and HVAC contractors to complete specs for the new theatre.
We ordered two 50 foot steel beams needed to remove blocking columns in the theater space.
We finalized the design of the new theatre (drawing attached) with 166 seats (186 maximum capacity if no handicapped seating is required) and placed the order for the seats.
We vacated our current home on Northwest Boulevard and engaged a commercial real estate firm to try to sublet the space between now and when our lease expires in August 2021.
In short, we are on track to open the new theater (CoVid permitting) early in 2021!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Take Your Seats!

We remain committed to achieving our $1.5M goal. One of the ways we will do that is to offer seats inscribed with a donor’s name on a brass plate on the arm. Suggested minimum donations -- tax deductible -- are $1500/seat for the first five rows center, $1250 for the first two rows left and right and $1000 for all other rows. If you are interested in dedicating a seat please contact our Treasurer Susan Robinson at treasurer@theatrealliance.ws or at 336-723-7777.

Thanks for your past generosity to Theatre Alliance. We look forward to hosting you in our new home!

"They are coming!" On October 22 they will arrive! Come see the show described as a "giddy drag show" and "a full-on farce, an uproarious send-up of ’50s C movies, and the C stands for camp."

At Theatre Alliance we love Halloween, and we especially love our Halloween shows! Following in the footsteps of past audience favorites such as The Rocky Horror Show, Silence, Night of the Living Dead, and many more, we bring you Devil Boys From Beyond!

After a UFO sighting, the male citizens of Lizard Lick, Fla.—all fat, old, and ugly—have been mysteriously replaced by gorgeous muscle boys! Ace reporter Mattie Van Buren, a combination Lois Lane and Hildy Johnson from “His Girl Friday,” is determined to crack the case, while her rival, Red-baiting columnist Lucinda Marsh, is out to scoop her. Mattie’s ex-husband, alcoholic photographer Gregory Graham, who also had a brief fling with Lucinda, is along for the ride. Will romantic sparks reignite between Mattie and Gregory? Will Lucinda steal Mattie’s thunder or her man? Will the world be saved from an alien invasion of hot young men?

As the weather finally cools we would like to thank our cast members who braved the sweltering North Carolina summer heat to rehearse and perform outside in sun and sweat! Therefore, our Volunteers of the Month for September are the cast of The Debbie and Doyle Show! Please join us in congratulating and thanking Gray Smith, Jaye Pierce, and Stephen Robinson for their hard work and commitment! Gray often does wigs, like for “Always...Patsy Cline” and for helping with our move. Jaye is always juggling phone responsibilities with coordinating our front of house volunteers. Steve is our Board President, which keeps him busy all year ‘round! ... See MoreSee Less
