​

We have been in our new home for four months now, and we are LOVING IT!!! Just a reminder:

​

  • Our new zip code? 35203

  • Our new street? 5th Avenue NORTH

  • Our new neighbors? The Redmont Hotel

  • Our new address? 2112 5th Avenue North

​

TNT is keeping the Capital Campaign alive until we are able to raise enough money to cover the last couple of months of the renovations. So - - if you have been MEANING to give, but haven't, now is the time. If you gave in 2024 and are planning to contribute again in 2025, again - - now is the time.

 

The generosity of all of you is what got TNT into its new home, and we are thankful. Nearly all of the naming opportunities were claimed by donors, but there are STILL a few left to be claimed.

There are multiple methods for giving and EACH ONE will make a HUGE difference in the effort to reclaim our place in the theatre fabric of Birmingham. Regardless of the size of the gift, Capital Campaign donors will be listed in TNT Show Programs.

WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING?

  • SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE had an unbelievably successful run. Opening on November 21, 2024 and running eleven performances, TNT had record-setting attendance. Nine out of eleven shows were OVER SOLD and the wait list option was instituted.

  • JANUARY 2025: There were TWO events onstage - AIDS Alabama's Storytelling night (fundraiser for AIDS AL) and a reading of Laura Secord's novel in poetry "An Art, A Craft, A Mystery" (fundraiser for YellowHammer Fund & for Read Freely Alabama).
  • Also in January, the weekly theatre class for students at Advent Episcopal School began. There are seventeen (17) students and they are loving every minute of it. A showcase is planned for the parents, at the end of the 9-week session.
  • FOUR artists have displayed their work on the Local Artists Wall in the new TNT Lobby: Madison Faile and Caleb Clark for "Sunday in the Park with George" and now Jenny Cash and Fran Bostick for "POTUS."
  • TWO of four "pig art" installments in our patron bathrooms are complete and a third is in progress.​

NONE OF THIS could have happened without the support of the people in town, and across this country, that made the decision to be a part of TNT's future...YOU!!! We can't WAIT to tell you what's happening this spring!

With endless gratitude,
