Forge Theatre

The day has arrived and we are that much closer to our new location!

Yesterday, we received a commitment from Phoenixville Federal for a $105,000 mortgage.

We’re almost there!  Inspections need to be finished and some paperwork and then it’s GO TIME.

We absolutely need your help. Sunday we had a great first step towards clean out. Next it’s planning and execution for the move itself. 

Watch this space for continuing opportunities to volunteer.    

In the meantime, if you’re ready to help, please contact  any member of the Board of Directors or the Building Committee:  Jim Kelsh, Marnie Herzfeld, Steve Schulz, John Magolan, or JT Grosch.  You can contact any of them by emailing info.forgtheatre.org@gmail.com

 Two things now are certain: “The Drowsy Chaperone” will be the last show at First Avenue; and “The 39 Steps” will be the first show in Port Providence.

Here’s hoping that all our local Forge friends and family have safely weathered the storm.  We’re sending our thoughts to those in New Jersey and New York as they recover from the damage.

If you’d like to help in the recovery, the Red Cross needs blood donors and funds.  Visit their website for more info: http://www.redcross.org
