WHY A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN:
Fine Linen Theatre is all grown up and needed a home of its own!
During the past 20 years we have matured from a small project for homeschooled students, to a thriving community theatre organization serving the broader Rolla and central Missouri region. We never expected to expand as we have, and it is all thanks to the support of our incredible community.
As a mature organization, we have reached the point that rehearsing in various borrowed and temporary locations and squeezing our expanding stock of costumes, sets, props and tech equipment in random rental spaces garages, closets, and spare bedrooms is no longer a sustainable model by which to function. It was time for Fine Linen to have a home...a physical space in Rolla for the operational components of our organization to inhabit.
We have a Revised Plan:
We are revising our plan to build a new rehearsal facility.
Building costs have risen dramatically, resulting in us chasing a moving target.
We have purchased the former Vessell’s Fitness Center.
It beautifully satisfies our goals and needs!
Compared to our former new-construction plans, this is lower cost, has more space, and is already equipped with much of what we need. Perhaps most significantly, we were able to start using it immediately!
We will do some modest renovation to open up a large rehearsal room and change four racquetball courts into seven large studio and shop spaces.
WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO DONATE:
Fine Linen has purchased the building and is using it, but still needs funds to complete essential renovations. The Chymiak Family Foundation has generously put forward a new $150 matching grant toward finishing the project; this $300K will enable us to finish this project.
__________________________________
A 2nd phase of renovations will allow us to further utilize space in the building and implement additional safety features as well. With an extra $100K we can do this as well.

We have secured a Neighborhood Assistance Program Grant that matches business donations in tax credits - a $2K gift gains us $4K and only costs the business $1K because of these tax credits!
