Arts and Culture Funding Cut in Florida
Help us bridge the gap of the historic Arts & Culture Funding Cut in Florida.
Organizations in Florida were dealt a devastating blow with the announcement that Governor DeSantis vetoed more than $32 million in arts and culture funding from the 2024-2025 budget. We are, very unfortunately, one of the organizations that are impacted by this decision.
This veto affects so many arts and culture organizations throughout Florida: theatre companies, museums, zoos, choirs, operas, dance companies, youth arts centers, and more. Some organizations throughout the state are now exploring canceling programming, reducing staff, or discontinuing operations altogether.
This is unprecedented. This is the first time in the grantmaking history of the Department of Arts & Culture where the grants have been vetoed entirely. Furthermore, it comes at a time where we are still reeling from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Will you help us bridge the gap?

Arts and Culture funding was CUT in the State of Florida. We need your support more than ever!
The tickets you purchase only cover part of the cost to bring you quality community theatre. We are a volunteer-driven organization, from our Board of Directors all the way to our stage crews. Thanks to the support, generosity and passion of community members like yourself, we are able to bring live and innovative theatre to Jacksonville Beach year after year. The additional gifts we receive throughout the year cover our costs to turn on the lights and light up the show!

If these walls could talk... they would have quite the story to tell!
Originally built in 1945, these walls have experienced many lives: a laundry facility, a furniture warehouse, even an indoor skate park. Since 1999, this building has served as an artistic home and a place to escape the realities of the “real-world” for hundreds of thousands of people.
We’re asking the community, who takes pride in this artistic home, to support the sustainability of this building for the next hundreds of thousands of people who will enjoy the work in this building!
