Festival Antigonish Summer Theatre is seeking financial support from Antigonish Town and County Council on a couple of fronts.
Managing Director Caleb Marshall says they are asking each council to contribute $5,000 towards the Bridge the Bauer campaign.
Marshall says the campaign has raised $435,000. That’s 87 per cent of their goal of $500,000.

Money raised will go towards a retrofit of the Bauer Theatre, scheduled to begin in September
It’s expected the retrofit will take about 12 to 14 weeks to complete.
Marshall says it has also asked both the town and the county for a $15,000 operating grant.
