Dad’s Garage begins
second phase of
capital campaign
After a successful capital campaign to buy a new space,
Dad's Garage Theatre is hoping to raise additional funds to
spruce up the building.
Dad’s Garage has been shacking up with 7 Stages
Theatre in Little Five Points since 2013 when it lost its
original home in Inman Park to the Inman Quarter mixed-
use development. Last year, the improv theater company
purchased a church building on Ezzard Street in the Old
Fourth Ward for its permanent home.
Midtown Bank has given Dad’s Garage a loan to get
the company operation again, but the interior of the new
“House of Dad’s” still needs transform the space.
Dad’s will remove the red velvet pews and stained-glass
windows to create a more neutral space, plus install risers,
a lighting grid and sound system. Also on the wish list: an
elevator for handicapped performers and patrons, a bar,
new toilets and a greenroom/rehearsal space for backstage
privacy.
Every dollar given by an individual to the capital
campaign will be matched by an anonymous Atlanta-area
foundation. Dad’s is offering up naming opportunities for
donors, including chairs, toilet stalls and much more.
