Eastern Shore Repertory Launches Revitalization Project

The Eastern Shore Repertory Theatre, in partnership with the City of Daphne, is launching the Nicholson Center for the Arts Revitalization Project to upgrade to the Nicholson Center with Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant access, essential electrical improvements and new signage to enhance visibility and welcome the community. Already, $175,000 has been secured from grants, donations and in-kind contributions: $50,000 from the Cox Family Foundation, $49,900 from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, $25,000 from the Daniel Foundation, $10,000 from United Bank and in-kind support from the City of Daphne, Crucible Construction, Swift Supply and 68 Ventures. Renovations are expected to be completed by the end of the summer. Future work is to include a new lighting grid, energy-efficient LED fixtures and an advanced lighting board.
