The Charles R. Wood Theater Theater was designed with the specific
mission of creating as much activity by as wide a spectrum of performing
groups as possible. Its 300 seats have been determined to be the optimal
number to generate performance nights, and its stage facilities are
suited to most (although not all) of the region's performing entities.
The spacious rehearsal area and proposed basement rehearsal/performance space will add to the
activity level.
The Design Team of Glens Falls' Joy McCoola & Zilch, P.C. as architects
and New York City's Minds Eye Consultants as theater consultants has
created a space which will be functional, flexible, and comfortable.
Besides the theater, the building will also
contain retail, office and rehearsal space, all consistent with the
economic development portion of the Project's goals.
You can help make the Woolworth Theater Project a reality. You can
contribute any amount, and in a variety of ways: Pledges, Cash
Contributions, Securities and Real Estate, Gifts-in-Kind, Estate
Bequests, and Matching Gifts. Gifts are tax-deductible within the
fullest extent of the law. Gifts can be unrestricted or designated for
specific purposes. Pledges may be made for a period of up to four years. |
