Emergency Appeal:

Help Us Replace Our Broken HVAC Units

 

At the Branson Regional Arts Council, our stage is more than a place for performances, it’s a hub for creativity, learning, and community connection.

From our energetic kids’ programs to the beloved productions that bring neighbors together, we’re proud to be a space where everyone can experience the magic of live theatre.

It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the recent closure of another community theater in our area due to financial constraints. Given no funding from the city and limited grants, we must implore our community to assist us. Ticket sales alone are insufficient to sustain the theater’s operations.

Right now, we’re facing a challenge: our HVAC system has broken down, and replacing it is essential to keep our theatre safe and comfortable for our young performers, volunteers, and audiences.

We’re raising $60,000 to replace our HVAC units, and we need your help to:

  • Ensure a cool, safe space for our children’s theatre workshops and rehearsals.
  • Keep our community performances enjoyable for all, even in the summer heat.
  • Help us continue offering affordable arts programming to families in our area.

Ways to help:
– Make a donation — every gift helps us reach our goal.
– Share our campaign with friends and family.
– Sponsor a unit or contribute toward installation costs.

Let’s keep the curtain rising and the theatre thriving — for our kids, our community, and the joy of the arts.

With gratitude,
BRAC Board of Directors & Luke Menard BRAC Executive Director
