Building Campaign
A New Home for Theatre, Learning & Community
Dayton Theatre Lab is working toward an exciting vision: transforming an underutilized property into a vibrant cultural destination in Northwest Dayton.
This future space will serve as:
-
A dedicated performance venue for Dayton Theatre Lab productions
-
An educational arts center for youth and lifelong learning
-
A welcoming community gathering space for connection, creativity, and celebration
This campaign is about creating more than a building—it’s about creating a place where the arts can thrive for generations.
Why We’re Growing
Today, our organization faces challenges that limit what we can offer:
-
Reliance on rented facilities
-
Limited rehearsal and storage space
-
Scheduling constraints
-
Resources spent on rent instead of expanding programming
A permanent home allows us to invest more directly into performances, education, and community experiences.
