Help us open the doors.
Young talent exists everywhere. Opportunity does not. Progressive Theater is raising $537,000 to secure and launch a permanent creative home where young people can learn, create, perform, and belong.
Phase One Goal$537,000
To pursue acquisition, prepare, equip, and begin staffing our future home.
Every gift moves us closer to opening day.
The need
One home.
Every creative path.
We are seeking a facility of at least 100,000 square feet—large enough to bring six creative disciplines, classrooms, production spaces, and an auditorium together under one roof.
Our young people should not have to choose between access to the arts and what their families can afford. This future home will give youth ages 12–18 a place to discover their gifts, learn from experienced educators, collaborate across disciplines, and share their work with the community.
The $537,000 campaign is our Phase One launch goal: funding to pursue property acquisition, prepare the building for programs, obtain essential equipment, and begin placing qualified teachers and mentors in the space.
What the building makes possible
100,000+ square feet of possibility.
Theater & Dance Studios
Dedicated rehearsal rooms where young performers can train, collaborate, and build confidence.
Media & Photography Labs
Production spaces equipped for filmmaking, podcasting, editing, photography, and digital storytelling.
Creative Gaming Academy
A technology-rich environment for game design, coding, character development, and interactive storytelling.
Visual Arts Studios
Flexible rooms for drawing, painting, mixed media, set design, murals, and public art.
Classrooms & Community Space

Where your support goes
From an empty building to a living, creative community.
Campaign funds will support the essential work required to secure the facility and make it ready for young people.
Secure the space
Property acquisition, due diligence, insurance, and the essential expenses required to open the doors.
Prepare the facility
Safety, accessibility, program-room preparation, auditorium needs, and launch-ready improvements.
Equip every program
Theater, dance, media, photography, gaming, visual arts, classroom, and production equipment.
Put educators in the room
Teaching artists, instructors, mentors, technicians, and program staff who bring each space to life.

What is the $537,000 goal for?
It is Progressive Theater’s Phase One goal for pursuing property acquisition, covering essential facility-opening costs, preparing program spaces, purchasing equipment, and beginning startup staffing.
Why does the facility need to be so large?
Progressive Theater’s vision brings theater, dance, media, photography, creative gaming, visual arts, classrooms, community areas, production support, and an auditorium together. We are seeking at least 100,000 square feet so these programs can operate safely and grow without competing for the same rooms.
Can a company or foundation become a sponsor?
Yes. Sponsorships, major gifts, in-kind equipment, professional services, and room or program support are welcome. Contact admin@progressivetheater.org to begin a conversation.
Can I help without making a financial gift?
Yes. You can volunteer, provide professional expertise, introduce us to property owners or funders, donate appropriate equipment or services, and share the campaign with your network.
A place to begin
Help us turn 100,000 square feet into a million possibilities.
The building is more than walls. It is a stage, a classroom, a studio, a laboratory, and a promise to young creators that their gifts deserve room to grow.
