During the Solvang Festival Theater’s recent Rejsegilde celebration in February, a special announcement was made regarding the status of the theater’s ongoing fundraising efforts.
“We’re now a little more than $100,000 from our original goal,” Ann Foxworthy Lewellen, board vice chair and capital campaign chair of Solvang Theaterfest, said during the gathering, according to a press release. “A lot of people said we would never be able to get here, and now, we’re almost there.”
The nonprofit has been raising funds to renovate the Solvang Festival Theater since 2018. The original fundraising goal was $4.7 million. The final cost of renovations will increase marginally, due to minor cost adjustments, according to the organization.
