We are pleased to announce the offering of
naming rights
to the
Performing Arts Center
located within
The Rogers Theater Bldg.
The upright (“mast”) theater sign that once stood proudly above The Rogers Theater marquee will soon be recreated and we are offering “naming rights” to the Performing Arts Center.
Your family name or business name can be seen and spoken by an estimated 80,000 annual patrons to the Performing Arts Center and The Balcony Restaurant. The mast sign will also be seen by countless numbers of residents, visitors and tourists as they drive by on
Marion Street.
In addition to having your name displayed on the mast sign, your name will also appear on all advertising for the Performing Arts Center. Your name will also appear on all printed material related to the Performing Arts Center such as theater playbills, tickets, invitations, souvenirs, etc.
The terms for the naming rights are tentatively set at $200,000.00 for 15 years. We are willing to negotiate the duration of the contract. The cost of the contract will be adjusted according to duration of the contract. A portion of the cost of the contract may be tax deductible as a donation to Status Ante Quo, a 501 (c) (3). Status Ante Quo reserves the right to refuse proposed names that may seem to be offensive or inappropriate.
The Theater is currently closed and the restoration process has begun. The process is being performed by the well-seasoned and talented North Carolina restoration company of
Creative Development Associates, llc .
We are carefully removing only what needs to be removed. The entire building has been intensely inspected for insects of any type and there is absolutely no sign of any infestation of any kind. Any damage done by insects in the past was very limited and isolated to a small area. All of the damage has been removed and replaced. The original 1936 heating and cooling systems have been removed to make way for all new energy efficient systems. Solar electric and solar hot water are also planned to be installed.
The inclined floor in the balcony area has been removed to create a level surface for the Restaurants' dining room.
Any architectural changes are being carefully and respectfully performed to allow any future owner to return the building to its original design and purpose.
Please revisit our website as we continue to update our information as the restoration of this amazing landmark continues.
