Spotlight on the Princess

By Candace Andrews

Have you heard the “rumor?” Well, it’s true! Valley Theater Company is on the doorstep of completing its capital campaign to raise $400,000 to purchase the historic Princess Theatre!

And, it’s not too late for you to be a part of this community success story! We are still accepting donations – and they are arriving in our mail almost daily. When I opened an envelope that came in the mail recently, tears came into my eyes. There, in my hands, was a check for $2,400 – a generous, and unexpected, gift from a local couple. Thank you! My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated … and to those who are doing so now in our final “push.”

As I have mentioned previously, VTC will recognize every donor. We will also invite every donor to a fall gala celebration. So, consider this your invitation to “Jump on the band wagon!” Please send your donation to VTC, 1228 Meade Avenue, Prosser, 99350. VTC is a 501(c)(3) and your donation is completely tax deductible.

As always, if you questions about this capital campaign, VTC or the Princess Theatre, please feel welcome to call me at 786-2003.

Another special thanks to Sandy’s Bloom Central for the complimentary planting of the two barrels outside the Princess Theatre’s Green Room. They look spectacular! Thank you, Sandy!
