Seeking Organ Club Members & Skilled Carpenters
We recently met with the organ club to discuss the next steps in restoring our two-ton Wurlitzer theatre organ, and one thing quickly became clear—we could use some help.
On April 4th at 1:00 PM, we’re hosting an Organ Club Member & Volunteer Drive. This meeting will focus on organizing fundraising efforts and planning upcoming work days where we’ll need skilled carpenters to assist with sanding, staining, and other restoration work.
The project is estimated to cost around $80,000 to fully restore and install what will become the world’s oldest playable Wurlitzer theatre organ. We do have a promising grant opportunity that could cover a significant portion of the cost, but additional community support will be essential to make this vision a reality.
If you’re interested in helping restore an incredible piece of history, come down, check out the organ, and learn more about the project. We’ll walk through our next steps and explain exactly where volunteers and supporters can make an impact.
Once installed, the organ will open the door to some truly one-of-a-kind events, including silent movie dinner shows, Phantom of the Opera performances, and even an organ rave—blending modern EDM with the power of a historic theatre organ. It will be a unique fusion of music, theatre, food, and wine unlike anything else around.
Come be part of bringing this historic instrument back to life! 🎶
