Goal: $10,000.00

Specific Need

We are looking to improve our mission in several different areas. Due to unforseen storage issues at the Brown County Historical Society's Memorial Auditorium, we have an immediate need for new theatrical flats (portable structural frames used to create walls and scenery) before we can even put on a production. We are still looking to improve the sound quality and lighting system at the Auditorium. Our goal is to create more events and opportunities for artists of all ages to express their talents and showcase them in our area.

Mission

Hiawatha Area Arts & Theatre Society is dedicated to supporting arts in the NE Kansas Area!

Profile

Covid-19 hit our organization pretty hard, being unable to finish a production we were working on or safely hold events for several years. We are excited to be back and to bring our art loving NE Kansas area productions, visual art events and more. Even though we have brought to the stage Brown County Has Talent and the Music of Christmas the last three years, these events have been very inexpensive to produce. It is an expensive process to bring a theatrical production to the stage - nearly $3,000 in rights alone for some productions. We want to ensure these experiences are enjoyable for all and around for years to come. We know an investment is needed to help to upgrade the facilities to guarantee this can happen. We are so grateful for the support our area gives our organization and the embrace that the community shows to the arts. We cannot wait to move forward with your help!
