Bring The Heat is a campaign to raise $50,000 to replace the heating and ventilation system at the Bingen Theater.  We also hope to raise enough to install some stage lighting improvements as well as a retractable movie screen, The goal is to make the theater more useable and functional for a wide variety of uses.

For the last 10 years the Bingen Theater has been a venue for plays, musicals, music events, school events and a variety of other community uses including private parties and educational classes. It’s been entirely self funded up till now with the goal of keeping costs down for the community. In 2020, due to the pandemic and the untimely failure of the HVAC system the theater has been closed and looking for a path forward.

A successful campaign is critical to safely re-open the theater and provide an even better experience for the community.

Unique perks include tickets to shows:

Pigs on the Wing [Pink Floyd cover band]

The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association’s production of Rent

Funkship Columbia Mardi Gras party/parade

OR

Put your name on a theater seat

OR the biggie

Your name exclusively, on the theater’s classic Hammond B3 organ.

ALL PERKS INCLUDE YOUR NAME ON THE WALL OF FAME.

We need to succeed with this campaign so the Bingen Theater can continue to fill its unique niche in the arts and entertainment community of the Columbia River Gorge. 

We know that not everyone is in a position to donate money (although every little bit helps), you can also help by sharing this campaign on social media and spreading the word!
