NRTG is taking an exciting and important step towa NRTG is taking an exciting and important step toward purchasing the beautiful theatre we have called home for the past 16 years. Our offer on the building has been accepted. That is a major milestone, even though there are still many steps ahead before the deal is complete. The most important thing is this: we are on our way.

We all love this beautiful theatre of ours, and we want to continue to come see shows here for years to come. That is why NRTG is working so hard at securing this venue; so our future here is secure.

This could become a new chapter in NRTG's history. If the purchase comes to fruition, we will become building owners for the first time in 41 years. Our vision includes welcoming other nonprofit tenants, offering rehearsal and performance space to local artists, and creating a second performance space inside the venue. We want the Ellicott Creek Playhouse to be more than a theatre we use for our own productions—we want it to be a lively destination where something creative is always happening.

To make this vision sustainable, we will need to increase revenue and take full advantage of every fundraising opportunity. Owning a building will bring new responsibilities, including maintenance, utilities, upgrades, and a mortgage. We have plans to develop new revenue streams over time, but right now our most important task is to put the strongest possible financial foundation in place.

Right now, we need to raise as much capital as we can. As of this writing, we have received more than $90,000 in pledges toward the purchase of the building. That is a strong start, but we need to keep pledges and other fundraising dollars coming in. The funds we raise now will help set us up for success when we own the building. Please review the giving opportunities in this newsletter and make a contribution today. Every gift, large or small, will help secure NRTG's future.

Our 104th Season opener, “Sweet Charity,” is a groovy musical comedy that follows Charity Hope Valentine in her comically unfortunate pursuit of true love in 1960’s New York City. The show features familiar songs such as “If My Friends Could See Me Now” and “Big Spender.”

You don’t have to be a big spender to buy your tickets! Call our box office at 716-260-2319 or visit our website, niagaratheatre.com/tickets. Discounts available for seniors, military, and students. See you at the ECP!

Our Stage, Our Future, Our Home. Dear Patrons and Our Stage, Our Future, Our Home.

Dear Patrons and Friends,

For 103 years, the Niagara Regional Theatre Guild has been a place for unforgettable stories and community connection. We have spent the last 16 seasons building magic inside the Ellicott Creek Playhouse. With the building now up for sale, we are urgently raising the pledges needed to purchase it so we never lose our creative home.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a very special way you can help us save our stage.

For a pledge of $5,000 to our campaign, we will give you season tickets for the next 10 years. That is two seats, 10 years, for a pledge of only $5,000.

 

This is more than just buying tickets. It is a commitment to the next era of local arts. By securing your seats for the next decade, you are stepping up to guarantee that future generations of actors and audiences have a place to call home.

Whether you are someone looking to secure your date nights for the next ten years, or a local business wanting to give back to the community, this tier is a monumental way to help.

Please click our link in our profile to the pledge form to make your pledge today. Let us make sure the Ellicott Creek Playhouse remains ours forever.
