Help us Improv(e) the Blue Brick Theatre!

At the Blue Brick Theatre, we are working to create some big changes for our Company and Community. We want everyone who comes to our theatre to feel welcome, comfortable, and relaxed. As such, we have plans to transform this once-was-a-car-garage building into the theatre of our dreams.

Over the last few years, we've been overwhelmed with community support that has enabled us to:
  1. Demolish the back storage room and create a Green Room space, where performers warm up and prepare prior to coming on stage.
  2. Create an upgraded tech booth to accommodate a wide range of performances and space to command it all.
  3. Introduce an enclosed front of house featuring a back office for administrative tasks, and new merchandise display, to really give a welcoming first impression to all theatre goers.
  4. Purchase plush chairs to bring improved comfort to the audience.

​Check out some photos of the incredible upgrades!

But we're not done yet!

Our next goal is to redo the flooring throughout the theatre for a more comfortable experience for performers as well as patrons. With this in mind, we are setting a new fundraising goal of $10,000.
