The Nutz-n-Boltz Theater Company prides itself on being able to recycle, reuse, reuse again, repaint, reuse it a third time, restore, prop it up with a phone book and some screws, glue some new parts to it, and finally allow it to be recycled when it’s little more than a metal bracket and wood chips creatively amalgamated with tape and wire. To help break us of our obsession with reusing, many very kind people have donated many generous items and consumables (in addition to money, of course) for the benefit of our fine theater! Here’s a short list of items people have donated:
Work Gloves, Paper Goods, Tea and Coffee, DVD Camcorder, Photography Services, Video Services, Cordless Drill and Circular Saw Sets, Music stands, Miter Saw with Stand, Scrap Wood and Paint, Concrete, Painting Services, Plywood, Tables, Doors, Coffee Urn, Copy Paper, Costume pieces, Vintage clothing, Gaff Tape, Costume Rental, Flowers, Drywall Screws, First-Aid Kit, Janitorial Mop and Bucket, Furs and Costume Jewelry, Fabric and Notions, Laptop computer, Concessions, Popcorn Packets, and Endless time and Energy!
