Commitment for the Future of The Blank Theatre Company
As part of our goal to become Hollywood's Regional Theatre, The
Blank Theatre Company plans to build or re-model a theatre
facility under the guidelines set forth by the US Green Building
Council, with the intention of achieving LEED (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design) Gold or Platinum Certification.
Pre-concepts for the space are already in progress, under the
direction of renowned eco-interior designer Kelly LaPlante, LEED
AP and with the vision of Artistic Director, Daniel Henning. In
fact, initial sketches, concepts and materials will be on-line
for you to view later this year!
The facility will be virtually off-the-grid with features such
as on-site water-reclamation, water-efficient toilets and
faucets,
an LED stage-lighting system, energy-efficient appliances and
HVAC systems as well as low or no VOC paints,
flooring, finishes and fabrics.
Sacrificing nothing in the way of the environment, the project
will also result in a stylish world class facility providing
its patrons with comfort and aesthetics.
Add a LEEDer title to your donation, in any amount, and your
contribution will be earmarked solely for the
development of this project.
We're already green...
The Blank's Commitment to the environment is nothing new. Below
are just a few of the ways we've been doing our part to reduce
our carbon footprint:
* Minimum 75% vintage or re-used clothing in our costume
department.
* Minimum 75% re-use of electrics and sound equipment for each
production.
* Minimum 25% recycled/ eco-friendly set materials in our
productions each season.
* Recycling of all paper, bottles and cans in office and theatre
facilities.
* Playbill recycling program
* 100% recycled content paper for all office printing
* 100% low or no VOC paint in all set designs
* Office and Second Stage Theatre running on "Green
Power"
AND...
This year, we have offset the carbon emissions of our casts,
crews, board of directors and AUDIENCES for travel to and from
every single production, rehearsal and meeting. We've also
offset the day-to-day commute for our office staff.
