We’re growing. The community is growing. The demand is growing. And… we’ve officially run out of space. For years — ever since Cardboard Playhouse had to kick Cardboard Playhouse out of The Box because there was literally no more room for Cardboard Playhouse — we’ve been a nomadic theatre company.

​

Like… 10–15 years of moving from place to place, loading trucks, unloading trucks, squeezing shows into whatever space we could get. And we finally said: Enough. It’s time.

​

So we’ve been actively, seriously, aggressively looking for a permanent home for Cardboard Playhouse. It’s been stressful, time-consuming, frustrating, exciting — all at the same time. But… we do have a location we’re currently exploring. And for the first time, we’re feeling very, very positive about it. If everything lines up — the numbers, the timing, the support — then by this summer, we may finally have a permanent home.

​

And if, for some reason, this spot doesn’t work out?
We keep looking. Because we are done being nomads.

​

And that’s where you come in. We’re going to be turning to all of you — our community, our families, our alumni, our supporters — because we’re going to need help making this dream happen.

We’re bringing back our Building Fund. This campaign will help us get through that crucial first year — the year where we transition into a true home for youth theatre, creativity, and community.

​

Because honestly…
It’s about time.
We deserve this.
Our kids deserve this.
Our audiences deserve this.
And we’re ready.

​

Imagine:
No more loading U-Hauls.
No more dragging sets across the city.
No more “Hey, which space are we rehearsing in today?”

 

A home.
Our home.

​

Now — don’t worry — we will continue doing our Summer Series at Rodey because we absolutely love that space and that team. But besides that?

​

We are manifesting something huge.
The board is excited.
We’re excited.
And we are incredibly grateful to all of you for helping us push this forward. So yes — big news.
Big changes.
Big dreams are finally coming true.

Thank you for the decade of experiences, confidence-building, heart-break, joy, laughter and growth for Olivia!  We are so grateful that she got to grow up in such a safe, empowering environment ❤️
