A $100,000 donation came at a critical time for the Tennessee Repertory Theatre.
With corporate giving down by at least 50 percent and salary reductions set to begin next week, the theatre group can use the boost. There is a catch. Before they can get the anonymous award, the contribution must be matched dollar for dollar. It’s a challenge Audience Development Director Bennett Tarleton thinks Nashville can meet.
“We have an opportunity to reach out to individuals and that they will reach back to us with a dollar, five dollars, ten dollars, and we’ll have that match. But individuals are probably key here.”
The theatre is aiming to meet their surprise challenge by February 28th.
