Local theatre group pushes to raise $600,000 target by end of month

Augusta Mini Theatre, Inc. is announcing its fundraising for construction of Phase II-150 seat theatre at 2548 Deans Bridge Road, Augusta, GA ($2.5 M). The goal is to raise the balance of $600,000 by August 31, 2023, or possibly lose City of Augusta’s funding of the project ($1.3 million).

With help from the community and City, $1.9 million of the $2.5 million project cost has already been raised. The theatre just needs a little more help to reach the finish line ($600,000). This will complete construction of the present arts school.

Established on October 8, 1975, Augusta Mini Theatre is the first arts school in Augusta to offer the four disciplines (Drama, Dance, Visual Arts, Music) under one roof. After 48 years, the commitment to community service, arts education, and life skills continues to shine throughout the city of Augusta and the U.S (over 8,000 youth served).

The Augusta Mini Theatre is open to CSRA students in 1st – 12th grade. Presently, we offer classes in drama, modern dance, visual arts, and piano, and is now home to the 1970 Augusta Riot Exhibit.

The organization’s mission is to enrich the educational and ethical development of local youth by fostering critical thinking, social con- sciousness and personal development through affordable fine arts instruction, performances, and workshops.

Augusta Mini Theatre is located at 2548 Deans Bridge Road in Augusta, GA.
