Buy A Chair and Be A Part of CSP Forever!
Just during Do More 24, we are offering a special incentive for our CSP patrons, volunteers, and friends. As many of you know, we are working with Lang Development on getting a new theater space (more on that in early March!) and we will be launching a major capital campaign, once approved, to aid in the move, auditorium seats. theater equipment, etc. Even if we do not move, our current location is in desperate need of improvements including the chairs being replaced. Part of the capital campaign will be the ability to purchase a chair (meaning your name will go on a plaque on the chair in the auditorium). During the actual campaign, the amount to have this benefit will be $1000.
However, as a special part of the Do More 24 Campaign, we are offering the purchase of a seat at only $500! Please note that this incentive is only for those gifts made between 6pm March 3rd and 6pm March 4th. Any gift of $500 outside this time period is of course greatly appreciated but will not be eligible for the chair program.

Chapel Street Players is going through a Revival!
A new theater is being built for CSP and we will be moving into this space by this summer. We have been engaged in a Capital Campaign that needs to raise at least $750,000 in order for us to outfit the auditorium with seating, lights, sound, etc. We a little over a half way there!
