Small Gifts Saved A Kentucky Treasure: Kentucky Repertory Theatre by Robert Stone Tom Chaney's column "Theatre on Hard Times in Horse Cave" giving an account of the present situation and some history, appeared February 3, 2009, on ColumbiaMagazine. He pointed out: "Last year Kentucky Repertory Theatre enfolded some 15,500 students in their educational arms. Those students came from more than 30 counties around us -- a quarter of the state -- as well as from some counties in Tennessee. In an area where the arts have always taken a tenuous back seat in the public schools, KRT has filled that gap." The theater's development director, Mary Margaret Villines, asked me to contact my friends. I told her that I would ask everyone for a contribution and, if they said they couldn't, I would ask them for a one dollar bill that I would match and send the two dollars on to the fundraising campaign.I asked in person but I also send out 350 emails that said: Horse Cave is one of my favorite places and Kentucky Repertory Theatre needs help, so I am asking all my friends to help.A dozen responses said that they had given direct to the theatre. A dozen responses said that they intended to give later. But forty people sent or gave me cash or checks -- all the way from the single dollar bills to a hundred and one dollar check. Cash and checks came from Kentucky and Tennessee as one would expect. But two checks came from Scotland (yes, the Scotland across the Atlantic) and others came from Georgia, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. Cash came from Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Vermont. The thousand dollars my friends sent through my hands in combination with many more small gifts assures that there will be theatre in Horse Cave this year. But the goal has not quite been met. If you wish to contribute, send a check to Kentucky Repertory Theatre, Save a Kentucky Treasure Campaign, P.O. Box 215, Horse Cave, KY 42749. You can call the theatre at 270-786-1200 with any questions. And if you can't do more, you can send that dollar bill to me and ask me to match it. KENTUCKY REPERTORY THEATRE website.
