What We’ve Accomplished So Far!

(inch by inch)

We fixed the lobby ceiling!
 
A major leak in the lobby of the theatre turned out to be badly leaking cast iron pipes in the ceiling for the utility room that sits above the lobby. This became very apparent when I ran the air conditioner in the lobby for a show and when I came back the next morning, two tiles had ballooned and filled with water and another water soaked tile split in half and dropped to the floor. The condensation for the front AC empties into a floor drain in the utility room and the pipes connected to the drain were leaking.
 
This would not have been possible without donations and people buying tickets to our shows. So thank you!

ROOF

The leaking roof caused the theatre to be closed in December 2023. Even though we had shows through out 2023, the rain hit hard at the end of the year and we decided to shut-down until the roof could be sealed.  Through a generous allocation of funds from AARPA through the City of Fillmore, the roof was sealed in May 2024!

Drain Pipe Replacement: Total Cost: $15,500

Paid off: March 2024

A previously unknown plumbing issue – cast iron drain pipes which had disintegrated and impeded large volume flow – was discovered and needed to be fixed in order to host events and generate revenue. Through donations and ticket sales, the full $15,500 was paid off in 14 months!

All the leaking faucets and water supply valves have been replaced!

Many of the faucets didn’t work and the ones that did, leaked (note the picture of a ziptie holding a faucet lever to keep it from dripping.)  It was a $1,200 price tag for parts and labor, but well worth it.
