Lompoc Theatre Project
By Katrina McDowell on Oct 31, 2024 in Giving
The Lompoc Theatre Project, a Yardi-supported nonprofit organization, is dedicated to restoring the historic Lompoc Theatre. This iconic venue, a part of the community’s history for over a century, will be re-opened as a performing arts and film center, an educational and community hub, and a focal point of a revitalized Old Town Lompoc.
Established in 2012 in Lompoc, Calif., for the greater Central Coast community, The Lompoc Theatre provides life-enriching moments for the hardworking families of Lompoc and the local artists searching for affordable and accessible options in one of the most historically acclaimed venues in the heart of Small-Town America.
“We are dedicated to giving a voice to all cultures and backgrounds, enriching the lives of Lompoc families one moment at a time,” said Mark Herrier, executive director for Lompoc Theatre Project.
Lompoc Theatre Project is working on completing the Phase Two plan to move the Historic Land Office back onto Main Street, install new dressing rooms and restrooms, and complete renovations to the Lompoc Theatre Stage and Fly Tower, enabling regular live performances in the theatre for the first time in 60 years. Yardi funding helps the organization accomplish these goals.
“The grant we received from Yardi was unexpected and appreciated. It became a key part of our matching grant campaign, raising 200k in six months. It also confirmed that our cause is just and that we are being recognized for the decade of hard work we have put in, independent from our outreach efforts,” explained Herrier.
Overcoming seven years of failed leadership and apathy, the Lompoc Theatre Project has taken ownership of the building. Local volunteers and donors have driven this project, raising $ 3 million in the last three years. Their unqualified support has paved the way for the reopening of the Historic Lompoc Theatre, a significant milestone in the city’s history.
“When completed, it will be the beating heart of the City of Lompoc, generating millions of dollars of economic activity and giving a voice to the underserved diversity that characterizes our proud city,” expressed Herrier.
