Three Groups of People Who Gave To The Max

How appropriate that Thanksgiving comes the week after Give To The Max Day! There is much to be thankful for at Andria Theatre.

Thank You To Our Sponsors

We are grateful for the sponsors of the different hours: Art & Soul Hair Design, Downtown Plaza Liquor, Senior Perspective, Empower Boxing, Klick Foundation, ProAg/Country Store, Inspire Nutrition, TnT Tattoos, Spa Nala, Eddie’s Pet Supply, Carlos Creek Winery, AMS Digital Productions, Bina Services Corp, and Escape Room.

Thank You To Our Participants

We are thankful for the people who helped entertain and educate during the 24 hours: Philip Goellner, Chuck Grussing, Jim Arvidson, Viola Riggies, Ben Eckhoff, Nancy Haack, Shannon Berns, Barb Grover, Brittany Johnson, Jen Kulzer, Becky Byrne, Hailee Gibson, Steve and Jackie Henning, Bonnie Bina, Matthew Jensen, Lindsay Auran, and many other faithful actors and volunteers who appeared during the telethon. And thank you for the support we received online with comments, likes, shares, etc. You all helped get the word out.

Thank You, Especially, To Our Donors

We can’t thank the donors enough for the 106 donations that made this the most amazing GTTM Day yet for the theatre! Your contributions met challenges that caused Jake get his legs waxed, both Jake and Dave get their infamous tattoos: “All the world’s a stage...”, and by final count will send Ann, Becky, Holly, and Kristi off to get tattoos of their own. Pictures (and perhaps video) will be posted on Facebook.

Dave and Marsha Campbell generously gave a large matching gift. A total of over $14,500 was raised for the new marquee project and over $500 to purchase a new video camera. These are all agents-of-change gifts! You are all people who promote and enable change to happen at Andria Theatre. Thank you!!

During this week of thanks-giving, please know how very humbled and grateful we are for you and your support.

Many blessings to you and your loved ones!

GTTMD

Coming November 15! 

One of Our Most Special Events of the Year is Just Around the Corner

You probably think we mean a play, right? No, we’re talking acronyms. The world is full of them: USPS, UPS, UNICEF, DFL, GOP, NFL, and don’t forget AAAA - our old acronym for Alexandria Area Arts Association - the Andria Theatre’s parent organization.  We even make them up for our shows and events.  WOZ was for the Wizard of Oz; AITP is the acronym for Art In The Park; STP is Student Theatre Project.

But what does GTTMD stand for in our world?  Here are some hints: it is an acronym for one day out of the year in Minnesota; it has to do with fundraising; it is a call to action. It stands for Give To The Max Day and is the motto for a very special day in Minnesota when attention is drawn to the great works of the state’s nonprofit organizations. In 2018, Give To The Max Day is November 15.

This Year Your Donation Can Be Doubled

Thanks to a generous donor, your gifts will be matched up to $5,000

Andria Theatre is excited to announce a donor has given a $5,000 GTTMD matching gift to the theatre. We hope to raise the matching $5,000 on November 15 during our 24-Hour-Live-Facebook-Marathon for GTTMD! Go to the Andria Theatre page on Facebook.  Each hour will feature a different event/person/activity.  Have us on throughout the day and night.  There will be prizes and, of course, much frivolity.

We hope you find the arts in your hearts

Many nonprofits across the state will be making appeals for funding on the 15th.  Our philosophy at Andria Theatre is “It doesn’t matter who you give to, just please choose a nonprofit that touches your heart and support it.”  Of course, we hope you find the arts that touch your heart are the live performance, community theater arts of Andria Theatre. 

 Happy GTTMD!
