WE DID IT!!! SecondStory Rep lives on!


Actually, that should read, YOU did it! Talk about a dramatic finish: On the final day of our do-or-die fundraising campaign, around 2:00 pm on December 31st, a generous donor walked into the SSR office with a check for $2,000. This raised our total to $68,256.28 -- which meant that, when further pledges kicked in, we would actually make our $80K goal.

The board then voted overwhelmingly to stay open. SecondStory Repertory lives on!

We are truly humbled by this tremendous outpouring of support from the community. To raise this much money, at this troubled time, is an amazing accomplishment. Our thanks to every donor, every board member, every staff member, every Facebook friend...everyone who played a role in our victory.

In fact, we're planning to thank you all with a big party at the theater on Saturday evening, January 23rd... more details coming soon!
