The Waldo Theatre is seeking $17,000 to meet a challenge grant by the end of the year.
In 2018, the theater’s board of directors launched a three-phase capital campaign to save the historic 1936 movie house and performance venue. Shuttered since 2014, The Waldo required extensive damage repairs, renovations and upgrades to lighting and technology. The goal was to raise $700,000 by 2020 in order to complete work and reopen as an operational performance space.
