THE ROOF WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.

Help us build what comes next — restoring the Walnut Theatre
and creating a home for performance, film, music, creativity,
and community.

Donate. Be Part of What’s Next.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, Phase I is complete and a new roof is protecting the Walnut Theatre. But there is much more work ahead.

The next phases will focus on restoring the exterior and iconic marquee, improving the theatre’s infrastructure, and transforming the interior into a flexible, creative space for performance, film, music, special events, and community gatherings.

Every contribution — big or small — helps move the Walnut closer to that vision.

We’ve protected its past. Now, together, we can build its future.

How will the funds be used?
