A Bright Future: The Success of Our ‘Light the Way’ Capital Campaign

Exciting news from the Abrams Spotlight Productions community! Although December 2023 may feel like a blur, it marked the launch of our “Light the Way” Capital Campaign, a vital initiative dedicated to transforming our beloved Nancy Byng Community Theater with a state-of-the-art lighting system. With our existing equipment outdated and in dire need of upgrades, ASPI recognized the challenge ahead: raising $30,000 to illuminate our stage like never before!

Throughout 2024, we welcomed an incredible outpouring of support from our community. Thanks to the generosity of our fantastic donors, we managed to raise nearly $8,000! As we kicked off 2025, we knew our mission was not yet complete, and we were determined to reach our goal.

Then, a remarkable twist of fate occurred! In January 2025, an inspired donor, moved by an article in the Oconto County Reporter about our campaign and our needs, reached out to us. After heartfelt discussions, their passion for our mission led them to pledge the remaining funds we needed to finally upgrade our lighting system!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our “Light the Way” campaign is now fully funded! This achievement owes everything to our dedicated supporters who believed in our vision for vibrant theater in the Oconto County area—and beyond!

As we gear up to implement this exciting new lighting system, we can hardly contain our excitement to unveil these enhancements to our cherished patrons in the upcoming months.

A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your incredible support! If you’re still interested in contributing—whether to this campaign, our general fund, or our scholarship fund—please don’t hesitate to reach out at theater.aspi@gmail.com or call us at 920-826-5852. Together, we’re shining brighter than ever!
