After more than 60 years of bringing the best of Broadway to Atlanta and delighting hundreds of thousands of adults and children alike, Theater of the Stars, Inc. has announced today that it is closing. The troubled economy has resulted in underperforming seasons for the past several years, creating financial obstacles too difficult to overcome. Action steps are in the works to liquidate and wind down the organization. Subscriber's refunds will be an important part of the closing process as the company pays off debts as quickly and efficiently as it is able.
The company's financial position has forced the organization to cancel Disney's The Little Mermaid and Cats, in what was to be their 61st season. After exhausting every avenue possible to present this season, the continued effects of a slow economy and the financial results of last years' season precludes the organization from having the resources to mount the current season's productions.
In light of the current financial situation at Theater of the Stars, it was announced today that the upcoming engagement of the ANYTHING GOES national tour, set to run August 20 - 25, has been canceled.
Following the news that Theater of the Stars' campaign did not reach its phase 1 goal of $500,000 by July 12, Fox Theatre President and CEO, Allan Vella, released a statement this afternoon on the matter.
The Save Theater of the Stars campaign did not reach its phase 1 goal of $500,000 by July 12, but the company is pursuing intermediary plans. The fundraising efforts will continue and donations can be made by visiting www.theaterofthestars.com or by calling 404-252-8960.
With days left in the first phase of the Campaign to Save Theater of the Stars, the company announces it has secured $330,000 toward its goal of $500,000 by the end of this week. Roger Bobb, nationally acclaimed film and television producer, and President and CEO of BobbCat Films, an Atlanta-based production company has committed a substantial portion of the amount currently raised. Theater of the Stars hopes to raise the balance of the goal and mount Dreamgirls starring the incomparable Jennifer Holliday next month.
The last few years have brought difficult financial times to a number of venerable Atlanta theatres, including the 2012 closing of Marietta's Theatre in the Square, a successful half-million dollar fundraising campaign by Georgia Shakespeare in 2011, and last week, one of Atlana's oldest theatrical institutions announced a desperate plea for public support. After over six decades in Atlanta, Theater of the Stars (TOTS) now needs to raise $500,000 by the end of next week, and another half-million dollars by the end of August, to continue operations.
UPDATE: BroadwayWorld has confirmed with a Theater of the Stars resentative that despite Holliday's tweets, only the Wolf Trap production has been cancelled. The production will run as scheduled in Atlanta, August 22-25.
