In a normal year, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater hosts 246 events. In 2020, we only hosted 55. Beyond the financial burden of lost program income has been the emotional difficulty of watching a normally bustling theater stay dark and quiet for so long—especially considering the joy from gathering that the theater provides. During this time of financial crisis, financial support from the community can help to ensure that the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is able to re-open and continue to play an important role in the community. Your support at this time is deeply appreciated. If you donate today, your contribution will be working to make the Buskirk-Chumley Theater a place where a whole range of dreams come true, unique memories are made, and we all have a chance to feel at home. In addition to welcoming big-name stars into our community living room, our donors ensure that our stage and screen belong to everyone. You might perform here. You might help to decide what is shown or performed here. You may just enjoy the show from a comfy seat. This incredible mix of community involvement creates more than entertainment; it creates connection. Won’t you help us to make the BCT a home away from home for even more people in the community?
