Venice Theatre Receives Match Challenge of $1M

The Giving Coast

Dr. William H. Jervey, Jr., has pledged one million dollars to match community support of Venice Theatre’s Next Act Capital Campaign. Venice Theatre purchased its new Arts Education Building on Friday, Nov. 15, for $1,060,000, enabling it to expand classroom and rehearsal spaces and enhance its educational programs for all ages. The second-largest community theatre in the nation and celebrating its 70th season, Venice Theatre is the heart of the arts in Sarasota County. The Next Act Capital Campaign is its $2.5M campaign for the expansion and improvement of Venice Theatre’s production and education campus. In addition to Dr. Jervey’s gift, lead donors have pledged generous gifts to The Next Act, but there are still many naming opportunities available. They range from $25,000 to $1,000,000. “If you support education, the arts, or this theatre, The Next Act offers a space to name in honor of those who have inspired you,” shared Camille Cline, who is running the campaign.
