Come out and help us get across the finish line!!

This fundraiser was Scott Breinig's idea, as he wanted to relive a fun fundraiser from our town's history. We were hoping to get it done before he passed, but the sweet corn didn't cooperate due to the drought and animals! So, we are doing this in memory of Scott, since this was his idea and the Breinig's have been great Theater Supporters!

All proceeds go to the theater foundation for the renovation.

You've probably noticed construction has already begun!

We still have a bit more to care for and when this is all said and done, the Theater will be here for the community and generations to come!

Free will offering! August 15th from 5pm to 7pm.

I have had a few people ask if it is possible to donate to the Crystal Theater Foundation's Renovation Project, please consider donating electronically via this Paypal Link.

This will direct you to our 501(c)3 PayPal Giving page and will allow you to donate electronically.

paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/5371688

There is also a Venmo, however, they take a fee out, so we prefer direct donations (Mail or deliver a check to a board member) or use the Paypal donating service.

You can mail a donation to:

Crystal Theater Foundation
PO Box 176
Arapahoe, NE 68922

Thanks to all the community members, including businesses, private donors, our city council, and most of all our volunteers who serve on the Foundation Board, the Theater Operating Committee, and all the volunteers that make the effort possible!

This truly is a great community, with individuals that give way more than we could ever ask.

You all are rock stars!
