The Tooga Theater in downtown Summerville got a new sign on Wednesday.  The new marquee is thanks to a $22,600 grant from Atlanta-based Fox Theater Institute (FTI).

FTI was founded in 2008 in response to a statewide need for assistance with the restoration and operation of Georgia’s historic theaters. Since that time, the Fox Theater has now awarded more than $1.8 million in financial support as well as shared its organizational experience with more than seventy other theaters.

Leigh Burns, FTI Director said, “Now, more than ever we know our Georgia theaters need our financial and technical assistance to navigate a time where resources are limited or disrupted. We are thrilled to support the ongoing work of nine theaters this year for a total investment of $252,300. These funds help our passionate colleagues maintain the arts in their community in extremely unprecedented times.”
