Built in 1928 as the local headquarters for the Salvation Army, our building is historic, charming, and leaking! Patching (and re-patching) the problem areas is no longer adequate. With every rainstorm, water pours into the Studio at CTG. Not only are guests, cast members, students, and staff getting wet, but we’re also concerned about the integrity of the entire structure. CTG has consulted several experts and the only solution is a new roof.
Fortunately, the Covington Foundation recognizes the importance of CTG and 520 South Elm Street to our community.
That’s why Covington has generously earmarked a $26,400 grant to cover 50% of the anticipated costs of replacing CTG’s roof. And we are tremendously thankful! However, Covington’s grant is a challenge: It will not release those funds until CTG secures the remaining 50% from other donors.
Our goal is to raise an additional $40,000 by December 31, 2022.
As soon as we reach the $26,400 mark, Covington will release the matching funds; the additional $13,600 will allow CTG to cover unforeseen costs associated with the roof and to put funds aside for maintenance.
Please rise to the Covington Foundation’s challenge! Help CTG “raise our roof” so we can continue fulfilling our mission of bringing our diverse community together to learn about, experience, and celebrate the joys of theatre.
