Spire Theater To Hold Roof Fundraiser On Staurday
A benefit to help raise money to replace the roof of the Spire Theater in Jamestown will be held Saturday.
“The cathedral roof is leaking everywhere,” Angelo Giuffre, owner said. “We are keeping are fingers crossed that it will be finished this weekend. During our Raise the Roof Festival this weekend we will go live on Facebook asking for people to donate.”
More than 20 acts, bands, performance groups and solo artists have stepped forward to volunteer their talents and will be performing all day from 3 p.m. to nearly midnight Saturday. The performances will take place on four stages at the InSpire Development Center complex; the main Spire Theater Stage, the Odyssey Hall Stage, Studio Metro Underground Theater and right outside in the courtyard in front of the theater on Third Street.
“If we do not fix it before the winter, we will place 12, 50-foot by 30-foot tarps to cover the roof,” Guiffre said.
Tickets to the festival’s four stages are available at inspirejamestown.com for $10. The Olive Garden has also offered to provide a pasta dinner fundraiser at The Spire on Saturday for an additional $10. Ordering tickets in advance is appreciated; those who buy pre-sale tickets will be entered to win a prize.
The capital campaign recently started and has already raised more than $2,000 — though it will cost about $62,000 to replace the roof. Donations are being accepted and there is a donation option on The Spire Theater’s Facebook page or through inspirejamestown.com
