Band Sponsorships and Volunteers
At this time, the theater is unable to pay bands due to limited income. This can make it difficult to book performers.
We are hoping to change this by finding sponsors who may be willing to help cover band costs for future shows.
If you or someone you know would be interested in sponsoring a band or supporting the theater in another way, please contact us. Your help can make a real difference.
Theater Updates
The board continues to work on several items to support and improve the theater.
Roof Repair
The board is continuing to gather information and estimates for roof repairs. The goal is to determine whether a full repair, partial repair, or phased approach may be possible.
Website Calendar
The website is mostly up to date, and upcoming jam dates will continue to be added to the calendar so members and visitors can easily see what is coming up.
Band Directory
The online band directory is nearly ready to use. It will help keep track of band names, contact information, last performance dates, and possible future booking opportunities.
Sound System
The board also discussed the theater’s sound system and possible future improvements.
Before making any major equipment decisions, the plan is to check cables, connections, and existing equipment first. The board may also research future mixer or amplifier options if needed.
No purchase decision has been made at this time.
Looking Ahead
The board is continuing to look for additional bands and performers for future dates. Some potential band leads are being researched, and show promotion remains an important focus.
Flyers will continue to be used to help spread the word around Louisville and nearby communities. If you know of a good place to post flyers, or if you would like to help promote upcoming shows, please let us know.
