The Renaissance Continues
Breaking Ground In July!
The renovation starts early July! When we have the date for the demolition of the front we will
invite you to come see your favorite bathrooms ripped out. Our Echo request passed with flying
colors so we thank all those who took the time to write their Council member. We received some
wonderful copies of what you wrote. We are hoping to re-open in January and will keep you
posted with pictures and updates as it all progresses.
Our fund raising is hard at work and will continue as being shut for 6 months will dent our
finances as many ongoing bills continue whether we are open or closed. Lots of ways for you to
contribute. Make a donation and be on our plaque in the Lobby depending on how much you
give..., buy a brick or two or three, buy a seat plaque! If you are working, ask about your company
becoming a corporate sponsor or advertiser in the program. Buy raffle tickets every show and
consider donating the money back when you win! Cash, checks, credit card donations are also
very, very welcome. Call us at 386-255-2431 for more info or visit our web site at
www.DaytonaPlayhouse.org
.
There are lots of ways you can support us

Now you can help pave a path in the future of the Daytona Playhouse. We invite you to honor
friends and family, to remember loved ones, or commemorate special occasions by purchasing
tribute bricks to be placed in the walkway in front of our newly renovated lobby.
Order forms also available in the Lobby!
Special Note to All Season Subscribers and Patrons!
Because of the Renaissance Project and the renovations taking place at the Playhouse,
we will not be starting our 2015-2016 Season at the usual time in September. The
project is expected to take roughly six months, during which time, the Playhouse will be
closed. We will keep all our Season Subscribers and Patrons posted on progress and
begin selling subscriptions when a firmer completion date is known. Rest assured
Subscribers, we will hold your favorite seats for you. Please make sure you check for
updates through email and "Like" our page on Facebook to keep abreast of progress.
Remember! When we re-open there will be a brand new Lobby (and restrooms!) for
you to enjoy here at the Playhouse!
A Great Time
Had By All!
Bet you're sorry you missed it!
Our Annual Gala & Daytony Awards was held on Friday,
June 5th and was a smashing good time! Great food,
fun, decorations, dancing and, of course, the DayTony
Awards. Our Masters of Ceremony, Joey Maxwell and
Terence Van Auken had the crowd in stitches and
really made the evening special. Many thanks to all
joined us at the Palmetto Club and especially those who
volunteered to help make this a memorable evening!

Young Actors Company presented The Next Generation Award to Darian Parks and
Jonathan Foege for all their work with YAC! The President's Award - Volunteer of the Year
