SEATTLE — The Taproot Theatre in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood says the venue needs to raise $400,000 after its HVAC system was damaged.
The theatre has started a fundraiser after two of the three HVAC systems were destroyed, and the copper wire inside was stripped.
“Taproot now needs to raise significant funding to facilitate a comprehensive overhaul of its Jewell Mainstage HVAC system in order to sustain the theatre,” Taproot said in a release.
2026 marks Taproot Theatre’s 50th anniversary.
“Over these five decades, Taproot has survived economic crashes, the digital revolution, a fire that destroyed our building, a literal explosion in our neighborhood, and a global pandemic, and we’re still here,” Producing Artistic Director Karen Lund said.
