The TVAC Endowment Fund is owned and managed by BMCF, for the benefit of The Liberty Theater, and we receive a yearly distribution.
We can never spend the principal, so it lasts indefinitely, which is an advantage of your giving this way.
This will gradually make us less dependent on yearly donations.

Balcony Remodel Project 2019-2024

1. Improved safety in the front row of the balcony, which was the primary reason for the project. We increased the leg room in the front row to create more space when entering and leaving the row, and this also made more space for your feet when seated.

2. We added stair nose lighting to improve safety on the new steps up and down from rows.

3. We improved leg room in all the balcony rows by moving the last row back, and distributing the space among the rows.

4. We improved visibility of the stage from seats in back rows of the balcony, by raising the rear seats higher. This created a step up into some rows, with handrails.

5. We increased seating capacity by 4 seats, and replaced row N with the new seats with cupholders.

The Liberty Theater is grateful to all our many donors, in any amount. Thank You!
