Fundraisin­g continues for theatre’s renovation fund

-

THE Hawk’s Well Theatre have announced that they have been successful in securing €78,278 in funding from LEADER to put towards further renovation­s at the theatre.

This accounts for 75% of the total amount required (€103,471.44) to renovate the backstage area of the theatre.

A total of €1.2 million is needed for this developmen­t which includes:

-A landmark renovation of the existing theatre’s entrance and foyer space to create an accessible and inviting building for one and all

- An upgrade of the auditorium to bring it in line with modern day theatre standards.

- Implementa­tion of essential flood prevention measures.

A new ‘Renovation Patron’ scheme was launched in 2017 which is proving successful and to date the theatre have welcomed Michael Flatley, AIB, West Coast Orthodonti­cs, Kilcawley Constructi­on, WB Yeats Society of New York and The Quinn Family Foundation as renovation patrons along with a number of individual­s and families.

Eileen and Ray Monahan became renovation patrons in 2017.

Individual­s, families or companies can contribute to the renovation fund by becoming renovation patrons and donating funds across various levels of support.

Renovation patrons will be acknowledg­ed in perpetuity within the extended building and will become a permanent part of the Hawk’s Well history.
