3/13/2021: Volunteer crews disassemble our Mamma Mia set and move it into a trailer for temporary storage. (We were just about to open Mamma Mia when COVID hit in March 2020. We hope to finally get our Mamma Mia cast back on stage after the remodel and as soon as COVID guidelines permit such large group gatherings.)

3/6/2021: The pre-construction work parties are underway. Check out the video to the left to see our progress. COVID precautions make things a little more complicated, as right now we can only have small groups of masked volunteers working at a time, but we'll still get the job done!

2/27/2021: On the heels of the very exciting news that the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust approved a large grant for this project, we are beginning the pre-construction move-out process. We need to remove all sound and lighting equipment from the booth, and all seats from the auditorium, so the contractors can do their magic. The M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust joins the State of Oregon, Ford Family Foundation, Woodard Family Foundation, Oregon Community Foundation, Sunderland Foundation, and Oregon Cultural Trust -- along with hundreds of individual donors -- in providing major support for this project. We are not yet at 100% of our fundraising goal, but the Murdock grant brings us to about 95% of the way there, which is enough to get construction started.
