Update on the Bug!

Update #8 · Sep 12, 2012 · comment

Hi there wonderful backers!

I wanted to let you know that we have recently received some great news from the City stating that they may have interest in helping us with a building to build the theater inside of. This would be a GREAT opportunity so the company has decided to continue to rent a temporary space through the end of the year until we have a definite answer from the city. We will be staying in East Nashville and are looking forward to our Fall/Winter programs starting at the end of this month. Thank you so much for your contributions and we will keep you updated as we know more!

I am thrilled to announce that today we reached our fundraising goal with over a week left in the campaign! We are so grateful to all of you for helping make this happen. The kids have started writing some thank you notes and I can't wait to send them out! In an effort to make the most of our last week we are going to be doing one more big push, including a brand new fundraising video that I hope you will all share when it comes out. I am excited to see how far we can go!

Here is a clip from one of my all time favorite Theater Bug moments from summer 2011's production of THE MOST AMAZING ANYTHING OF EVERTIME. Our actors are fearless and funny!! Enjoy!
