CENTENNIAL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

A note from Emily Beck, Executive Director of the Fargo Theatre:

The road ahead includes plumbing, architectural, and HVAC projects to preserve our historic space. It also includes the modernization of our event production infrastructure. At 27 years of age, our audio, lighting, and staging systems are technology dinosaurs. With a refreshed facility and current equipment, the Fargo Theatre can keep shining for generations to come.

On behalf of the entire Theatre team, I humbly ask that you consider a gift to our Centennial Capital Campaign today. Every donated dollar brings us closer to our goal and a brighter future. To share our gratitude, we’ve prepared a selection of recognition elements that will celebrate your contribution.

Thank you for being a part of our community and the reason we’re able to celebrate this milestone. Cheers to the next 100 years!

– EMILY
