Calumet Theater Needs Help with Maintenance Costs

For almost 115 years, the Calumet Theater has been a mainstay in the Copper Country, providing a great venue for entertainment, education and community activities. But the wear and tear over the years has left a mark on the building and it needs some help. The theater recently received a brand new furnace and replaced the stage roof that had been leaking for almost ten years. Executive director Laura Miller said the theater’s upcoming Grand Raffle will hopefully generate funds to pay those repairs off but they need to sell all 1,000 tickets by December 5th. She added the raffle is one of their only avenues of funding for repairs like these.

Miller said the water damage from the various leaks has become extensive throughout the entire building and donations would be greatly appreciated to help with those expenses.
