March 2022 – THANK YOU WENDY!!!
At our 2022 annual meeting, we unintentionally forgot to say thank you to our retiring secretary Wendy Marshall. Wendy has been a board member and our secretary for the past 8 years. She has kept the board up-to-date and informed with her countless emails, calls, and conversations. Wendy is a very detail-oriented person, which was very beneficial as she took the lead on behalf of the board, when the lift was installed in the building.
Wendy has many other interests including being a Grandma, drumming in the Ingersoll Pipe Band, and now working at Golspie Dairy in the family business. Wendy has lots to keep her busy.
We thank you for your contribution to Thistle Theatre Wendy, and wish you great success and many new adventures.
Thistle Theatre Celebrates 25 Years!
Thank you to the Township of Zorra for recognizing the many who have been a part of 25 years of Community Theatre in Embro.
We Have a Lift!
Come visit our fully accessible building including lift. From the lift there are two entrances into the building. The bottom is onto the first floor entering the Green Room. This also gives accessible entry to the library. The second enters the theatre hall. Changes have been made to the library, to make room for the dedicated accessible washroom. New flooring has been put down in the Green Room, Library and washroom area. As well, a storage area and closet has been set up just outside the washrooms.
A fundraising campaign was initiated by Thistle Theatre with the hopes of raising $22,000 toward the balance of this project. We exceeded our goal in just 9 months and additional funds have been put toward other hall renovations, to make your theatre experience even more enjoyable.
The majority of funding for this project has been provided by an Ontario 150 Grant, plus a donation from the Township of Zorra.
Thank you to our donors and Zorra Township for their support of our accessibility renovation.
