After a long and exhaustive search, Dad’s Garage Theatre Company has finally found what they hope will be their new home. The 19-year-old theatre company is under contract on a church at 569 Ezzard St. in the Old Fourth Ward, roughly a mile away from its old stomping grounds in Inman Park.
Dad’s Garage marketing director Linnea Frye said there’s still a lot of work to do, including raising the funds needed to purchase the building, but Dad’s Garage plan is to close on the property by the end of the year.
Dad’s Garage artistic director, Kevin Gillese publicly announced a capital campaign last week. “Any bit you can give helps, but a lot of bits help even more.” Details on the campaign are forthcoming, but in the meantime folks are encouraged to contribute to the theatre at this link.
Founded in 1995, Dad’s Garage Theatre Company called Inman Park home until it was forced to move to make way for a mixed-use development. The company is still going strong at its temporary home at 7 Stages Theatre in Little Five Points.
