Take our furniture for a virtual test run in a variety of room shapes to match the one you call home.Algonquin Arts Theatre us underway with a fundraising campaign to pay for installation of new theatre seats (pictured above) - you can play a role by participating in the "Take a Seat!" campaign. The current seats date from the theatre's 1938 construction as a movie house. The new seats will be both extremely comfortable and will use the original but refurbished seat ends in order to keep the original art deco look of the theatre. Wheelchair areas with companion seating will also be an integral part of the new seating plan. As a "Take-A-Seat!" campaign sponsor of a new seat - or block of seats - you will become part of the history and vibrant future of the Algonquin Arts Theatre and our community. Every time you take a seat at the theatre, or walk by as the audience is arriving, you will have the pleasure of knowing your generosity is making it possible for someone else to experience the unique joy of entertainment, understanding, and self-discovery that comes only with the performing arts.
There are two easy ways to join our "Take-A-Seat" campaign. Don't forget that Algonquin Arts Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit and your contribution to this campaign is tax deductible.

The replacement includes taking the original end stations and wooden chair arms and refurbishing them to be included in the new installation. Additional improvements with the new seating include: How will my contributution be used? Funds raised through this campaign will be used to cover the cost of the new seats and installation. During the approximately six week process, the inside of the theatre will receive the following improvements: Any additional revenue from the "Take-A-Seat" campaign will allow us to continue to bring the best in performing arts and education to the region. Why Replace the Seats? The current seating dates from theatre's 1938 construction as a movie house. The seats were re-upholstered when the Algonquin re-opened in 1994, but require regular maintenance and, after more than 75 years in use, do not offer the comfort that new seats will bring.
