Little Red Studio December Events
Greetings!
The building that we moved into on the corner of Harrison and Dexter, the one you have come to know as our "new" home has been sold. We will miss the previous owner Charlie, who was so much fun and so supportive of our efforts.
Our new owner is a corporation that appears to be treating us with respect and we are optimistic that all will go well. We have negotiated an amendment to our lease which will allow us to stay for now but gives them the ability to trigger a break in the lease with six months notice to us. It also stipulates that they will pay us a settlement at the time of our departure. This settlement will cover the balance on our investment here as well us give us enough funds to support our unexpectedly early move. We had planned to be here for 8 years and were going to amortize our investment
over a good chunk of that time. While the effort to arrive at this settlement was stressful and distracting, it was, on the whole a straightforward negotiation which resulted in terms that we are very happy with.
So, we are staying here at Harrison and Dexter for now.
But not for long. No sooner had the ink dried on the lease arrangements when things started popping. It is too early to say, but plans are developing for our next phase of growth. We are currently in conversation with Serafina about combining our efforts in a more complex way in the next year or so. I will keep you informed as plans develop and the vision takes shape. I may also be asking for your opinion about aspects of our plans along the way. So thank you in advance for your support in this way.
What makes the exciting growth possible are the fantastic dedicated artists of Little Red Studio and the enthusiastic audiences that have come out in force to join us. We more than doubled the number of offerings this fall, and we had full houses for everything we did. We also added the whole new concept of themed shows which you also came out and supported without
missing a beat. Thank you for all of your energy and support.
We are busy now preparing for our winter schedule. Thanks to your response, we have added even more dates to the calendar. From January to April there is a Little Red Studio event of one kind or another virtually every weekend. If this proves to be successful, we will round out the calendar in the spring with an unabashed packed calendar.
In the meantime, we have some great events remaining this year including our first ever evening devoted to just music. We also have a Gold Show and Black Show. And then, of course we have a fantastic New Year's Eve Gala planned.
I hope to see you at one or another of these events. And thanks again for all of your support.
