A Chance To Name A Seat At The New Suzanne Grant Theater
Donors can become a permanent fixture of the local theater scene when they help to upgrade the newly named Suzanne Grant Theater.
BEDFORD, NY — Very few of us will ever see our name in lights on the marquee or have a theater named after us, but anyone willing to donate to help renovate the theater at Fox Lane Middle School can have their name forever remembered by future audiences.
The event space at Fox Lane Middle School is undergoing significant changes. The theater was recently renamed in honor of Mount Kisco resident Suzanne Grant and the venue is being upgraded and modernized.
Perhaps the most noteworthy transformation will be the installation of a new telescopic seating system. The auditorium will be retrofitted with 200 theater-style seats installed as part of a retractable system that will allow teachers and event hosts to set up the theater with as many or as few rows of seats as desired.

No matter how many seats are available for any given presentation, donors who help to fund the project will always have a seat with their name on it. Money raised through a seat sponsorship drive will help to fund the new state-of-the-art adjustable seating sections.
A permanent engraved plaque will be placed on the back of each seat recognizing donors' participation in the initiative. The plaques can be inscribed with the donor’s name, a student’s name, an organization's name or to thank a teacher or remember a loved one.

One seat can be sponsored for $500. A fourth seat is free with the purchase of three seats and a $2,000 donation will buy the naming rights to six seats.
The plaques are customizable and can be ordered here.
