Program accomplishments

  • Initially called together as a volunteer task force by the City of Lafayette, The Park Theater Trust (TPTT) is a 501(c)(3) Public Benefit corporation. In April 2019, we were awarded seed monies by the Community Foundation of Lafayette (CFL), and in February 2020, we received our formal determination letter from the IRS confirming our tax-exempt status. TPTT has since been the recipient of four additional Excellence Grants by CFL. Primarily due to private donations and grants from family foundations, CFL and other institutions including the City of Lafayette, TPTT raised the $3 million required to purchase the Park Theater property for the community, and closed escrow in December 2021.
    Expenses $31,810
  • Reopening the Park Theater consistently ranks in the top four community concerns a priority of citizens, local businesses, and the City. As an anchor of a revitalized town center, the Park will become a magnet a center for newly released Hollywood movies and classics, independent and foreign films, and creative programming to appeal to all ages. The time is NOW for the Park Theater to resume its rightful place in this newly vibrant scene and shine again in the role for which it was created: Entertaining and engaging the entire Lafayette community.
