Future Location
The Campus will be conveniently located on a 8 acre site at 6250 Michigan Road with a new entrance at 1025 W. 62nd Street. This site will further focus community cultural amenities in the area with the adjacent Michigan Road Public Library and The Children's House Montessori school (TCH) and St. John's Church Eritrean Orthodox Church.
THE VISION
The Visioning Committee is fully underway in its initial development of the visionary program for the campus that brings a new indoor performance facility and seasonal outdoor space which will provide access to a variety of arts and participatory educational and cultural activities.
The TCH school will have immediate access for their daily school activities and scheduled student stage plays as will St. John's Church to host their "congregational events." The facility will feature a flexible multi-use activity and performance space with stage to accommodate and host diverse programs and productions by local artists.
The venue will be a great resource for Crooked Creek Player community theater groups and enhance opportunities to mentor those aspiring creatives age 7 to 20.
Anticipated activities such as supervised music and dance contests and band competitions will inspire Crooked Creek youth and young adults to express their talents in a fully enhanced performance venue.
Poetry readings, art exhibits and both summer and winter movie nights will engage parents, children and seniors in family-oriented events. Our neighborhood and community will have access to these facilities for both small and large group meetings, events and forums.
Food can be enjoyed from the convenient servery kitchen designed to ease transport and meal preparation by local caterers and guests. Staffing will schedule the facility for all users and will welcome rental use for business functions and other appropriate events.
The environmentally-friendly and ADA accessible building and grounds envision arts and maker programs that will engage our creative community in a safe and welcoming setting that promotes health-oriented programs for all ages and capabilities. We envision an experience that says to our community: "We all belong here."
