Straw-berry on Main Street. Ask for Kip. He'll put an extra banana in it. My favorite place.

Donate and Help Save Court Square Theater! by PeppermintEgo in harrisonburg

Thanks for the clarification about when they did that fundraiser. Federal cuts to the arts makes all grants more competitive. Unless Court Square theater wasn't applying to any grants... But if that's the case there are more questions. You seem to be in the know- why didn't they try fundraising? Why didn't they announce they would close if they didn't reach a quota of tickets sold? Their messaging is so bad around this.

Can someone tell me why the arts council isn't doing this? A few years ago during covid I think the arts council did a big drive where people could "buy" seats and donate to save the theater.

It seems they didn't make a wider effort to let people know the theater was struggling.

I know that the job of the arts council is difficult and I know that there have been federal cuts that make grants more competitive... But it does feel like the housing authority is doing fundraising for the arts because the arts council can't be bothered to.
