Dear Gunn Theatre Parents and other Fans,

The Gunn Theatre Boosters are fundraising for a complete restoration of our vintage Studio Theatre seats, and we need your help!  The forty year old seats that were “free for the hauling” 15 years ago are beyond worn and uncomfortable; many are broken, with unstable bases and jagged metal hazards.  

For $300 you can fund the restoration and installation of a beautiful theatre seat and have an engraved donor plate on the armrest to honor anyone you choose. Donations of $600 or more will also be honored on a wall plaque in the Studio Theatre.    

We must secure all funding by the end of 2008 to maintain the low price we've been offered by the expert restoration firm.   We realize these are difficult financial times, but consider pooling resources with friends to “share a seat” if $300 doesn’t fit your budget.
