Help! Our Scene Shop Needs You

PROGRESS
$10,422.00 Raised

Our Production & Scene Shop, housed in the historic Ideal Reel building in the Lowertown Historic Arts District, is the backbone of everything we create at Market House Theatre. Every set is built, painted, and stored here, allowing us to reuse materials and keep production costs accessible for our community.

But time and weather have taken their toll.

While larger renovations are ahead, we must act now to stabilize the building, ensure safety, and prevent further deterioration. This is an urgent and unbudgeted need and we can’t do it alone.

During Kentucky Gives, we’re working to raise $20,000 to begin these critical stabilization efforts.

Your support protects the place where stories begin and ensures that Market House Theatre can continue serving as a creative cornerstone for our region.

Will you help us get this project underway? Thank you!
