	We need your support! Join the "Save Cite Des Arts" Campaign - help spread the word. Thanks to your generosity we have already raised $2,745! Wow! Our hearts are touched!!  But we are in Trouble!  We still have a long way to go. Cite des Arts has been open for 18 years and have had some lean years, but never like this!  We have survived so far due to the patience and generosity of our landlords and the formulation of a payment plan, but if we don't raise another $37,729 there is a strong possibility that we will have to close our doors!  We owe back rent and are struggling to pay utilities and the one salary that we do have.   We have had one production since the pandemic started and due to restrictions, we were only able to have less than full capacity.  This has not only hit Cite des Arts, but all the actors and directors from our community that utilize our space.   We have productions from 2020 that are ready to go including our new Cajun Christmas Carol that we are hoping to make an annual event and tradition for families.  We also have plans for a big fundraiser in the Fall of 2021.  But this does not help us now.   Can you help us?  Again, we are trying to raise a total of $40,000 for back rent and other ongoing expense until we can begin providing the community with productions and all the other wonderful events to which our local artists contribute. Check out our story also on 97.3 The Dawg -  and on Classic Rock 105.1 We are so excited and grateful to them for sharing our story!! We would also like to thank KATC Channel 3 for interviewing us and helping us to get the news out about our fundraiser.     You can make a one-time donation or a recurring donation by going to https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/citedesarts or by donating to our GoFund Me. http://www.citedesarts.org
