The roof of the Historic Elitch Theatre's fly building began to leak noticeably in the spring of 2015.

The leak is confined to the fly building's flat roof, but impacts the theater's historic stage below. Depending on the amount of precipitation, the leak has required buckets and containers to be placed around the stage to catch the water. This inhibits the use of the stage and jeopardizes the historic wooden stage, itself. It also threatens stored materials (such as historic set pieces and theatre equipment) that are at risk of water damage, mold, and mildew. This grant will address this potentially debilitating issue.
