The Save Theater of the Stars campaign did not reach its phase 1 goal of $500,000 by July 12, but the company is pursuing intermediary plans, according to a press release sent to the media this morning. The fundraising efforts will continue and donations can be made by visiting theaterofthestars.com or by calling (404) 252-8960.
To that end, the company has cancelled “Dreamgirls”. Theater of the Stars is in discussions with investors to support the production of “The Little Mermaid” and reviewing its options regarding the planned production of “Anything Goes.”
On Monday, July 15, The Fox Theatre terminated its lease with Theater of the Stars and both parties agreed to move forward with an at-will usage arrangement. The termination of the lease allows The Fox Theatre to begin to fill the vacancies created by the cancellation of “Dreamgirls”.
Information regarding the refund of single tickets for “Dreamgirls” can be found by visiting the Fox Theatre website at www.foxtheatre.org.
