“The Reel Garden Party was created in 2021 to push us over the fundraising finish line for the theatre’s phase I renovations, but the party proved so popular we made it an annual event,” says theatre Executive Director Andrew Smith.

“This year’s proceeds will help fund our phase II renovations, which will address the theatre’s balcony and basement restrooms,” he continues. “Work on those areas is scheduled for July and August of this year. Once complete, the entire theatre will have the same look and feel as our beautifully renovated first floor.”
