Our Future
 

Case Statement

Since its inception in 2002, the Prince Theatre Foundation has enjoyed success in various community endeavors:

• producing top of the line theatrical and musical productions such as the 8x10 series of 10-minute plays, Songs for a New World, Wit, Company, and Route 66,

• providing quality educational, enriching experiences in the arts for children and adults, such as Pinocchio, A Chestertown Attic, and Stories of Our Elders,

• partnering with over a dozen community organizations for fundraising and other events that benefit us all. 

Both the theatre and the Foundation that calls it home are recognized and valued as a unique community center for the arts on the Upper Eastern Shore.

The current owners of the Prince Theatre, after many years of generous financial support, want to sell the building.  They have offered to continue that support by selling the building to the Prince Theatre Foundation at a price well below its appraised market value.  Accordingly, the Board of the Prince Theatre Foundation has authorized a Capital Campaign that will enable it to:

• purchase the theatre;

• perform necessary maintenance and routine upgrades;

• restore the theatre’s lobby as an entry and gathering place befitting this historic gem.

To accomplish these objectives, we need your support. 

With a successful Campaign, the next few years can be extraordinary for the performing arts on the Upper Eastern Shore.  Your participation in this Campaign will be critical to that success.  We must act now and work together to ensure the future of the Historic
Prince Theatre as a center of cultural and community activity on the Upper Eastern Shore.

Please help in any way you can to keep the Prince Theatre alive.  For more information, contact John Schratwieser at 410-810-2060
