"Now click your heels three times...and think to yourself, there's no place like home."
If you've gone past 5779 N. Ridge Avenue lately, you may have noticed there's something exciting afoot: Rivendell Theatre Ensemble is getting a permanent home! Construction is well underway, and we are delighted to announce that we will launch our exciting 16th season there in early 2012.
And there's even more great news... Every dollar we raise this season in new or increased donations will be matched two-to-one by a special grant from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation.
But we can't do it without you. Our new space comes with new challenges. Your help is essential to close the gap on crucial purchases like sound equipment, lighting equipment and theatre seats. Your contribution is just a click away. Click here to donate now!
Thank you for helping celebrate Rivendell's first 16 years, and for ensuring the celebration continues long into the future. We can't wait to welcome you into our new home!
