Novato Theater will be something wonderful to have in Downtown Novato and I sincerely hope they get all the support they can to make this long term dream of many come true!

This story shows exceptional students with exceptional talents on display: now all we need is a COMMUNITY site for them to perform. And grown-ups can play, too! I don't have $30,000 but I do have $30. Let's all pitch-in and donate. There is a lot of griping on this site about what is wrong about this town: let's make some news about something that is RIGHT about our Novato =)

What a great project. Proud of the team in my class in Leadership Novato Class 2011 who helped bring this to light.
We had an awesome Leadership Novato Class this year and just want to say great work team.
Unfortunately, I could not go and wish I could have. Those kids were great and having a place like the Novato Theater to perform is one of the best things that could happen for Novato.
This dream will come true.

Yes, our family is donating! This is a theater for everyone in our community. Please do what you can! It's for our town and for our children. Honored to have been able to participate in the fundraiser at City Hall on Wednesday, April 27th. One month to go, let's make it a reality!

Amy Wigton did a great job entertaining the crowd, and we'd sure like to have a new downtown venue where she can showcase her talents.

This is a great cause that will definitely help to revive the Novato Downtown. For all of those worried about this project falling through like it has in the past and are worried about donating, please don't. None of the money donated will be spent until the theater is officially purchased from the city if we meet the $750,000 pledge mark by June 1st. If the project does not come to fruition, at least 90% of all money donated will be refunded to the donors. Please show your support!

Awesome Novato Theatre video, Brent, and the next best thing to being there - and makes us want to be part of it!
