Everything
Old is Almost New Again  Assistive Hearing Devices by
Williams Sound are now available thanks to a grant from Empire Health
Foundation.A
rebuilt smooth stage surface is in place for dance and set movements,
thanks to funding from the Colville Vinson Fund and the extensive
efforts
of Sean Taboloff.A
three-part heating and ventilation system with air conditioning and
improvements in weatherization is working thanks in part to a Community
Strategies Grant from theInland NW Community Foundation and the efforts
of
Andrew Urbaniak.The best is yet to
come! A 2017 facade facelift, returning the theatre to its
more iconic look, started with replacing the 1970's-era barn
boards with a new stucco exterior below the roof line
and adding new double-pane windows, all done with Woodland Capital Campaign funds.Two permanent poster display cases and a large letter
marquee have been installed on the rebuilt façade thanks to a grant from the
Colville Vinson Fund.Safety improvements to the handicap exit, including
handrails and a roof to shed snow and rain are close to completion, funded in
part by a 2017 – 2018 Empire Health Grant. Having received 2018 grant funding from Inland NW Community
Foundation, phase two of the facelift will proceed. In late summer the
front roof will return to being flat above a curved parapet, ready for a neon-lit
tower to be installed. The new look will be reminiscent of the 1940's original
marquee.Perhaps last in this series will be a project to
replace the deteriorating stucco on the back portion of the theatre and enclose
the porch, soffits and gable ends. WA state Heritage Capital funds, committed
just this spring, will cover much of this work from late fall through May of
2019. A new interpretive sign will be installed by the theatre’s lobby entrance
as part of this project.Thanks to the new cooling system, Woodland
Productions will have another summer production, Alice In Wonderland JR, under the direction of Linette Richie.
All the Capital
improvements have been done with a combination of grant funding, Friends of
Woodland Theatre, Major Donors, Sustaining Member and the amazing Woodland
members who volunteer their valuable time provide matching funds for every
grant application. Thank you to all who have contributed !!!! Thank you to our Grantors:
