While attending the Byrd absolutely helps keep the theatre operational, admission and concession sales cannot support building restoration.
The Foundation is actively working to secure an estimated $3.5 million to complete planned restoration by 2017. That will take a community effort, but we intend to give you as many was as we can, to support the Byrd beyond direct donations.
