Stoking the coals, fueling the fire, and enhancing your experience – our next chapter.

1. Hire a Facilities Manager/Technical Director to oversee production quality, provide a cohesive experience for on-stage and behind the scenes talent, provide upkeep for the historic building, and manage the theatre’s rentals which provides additional revenue for our operations. 
2. Increase Main Stage budgets by 20% and hire additional Equity Actors for each show to improve the caliber of our performances, ensure excellence for our audiences, and grow the reputation and presence of Burning Coal Theatre in the community.
3. Provide funding for a part-time Marketing and Design staff member to broaden our reach, raise awareness, grow our audience and donor base, enhance our brand, and free up executive staff to focus on their primary responsibilities.
4. Purchase new seating and a production lightboard to enhance guest comfort and overall experience. The theatre’s current chairs and lightboard were purchased in 2008 and are long overdue for an upgrade.
