The Maples Repertory Theatre in Macon will soon be installing new seating and received a big boost thanks to a $40,400 grant by the USDA. Artistic Director Todd Davison shared how the costs are being covered.

The biggest changes with the new seating will occur in the upstairs balcony.

The public can also help out through the theatre’s Sponsor A Seat program.

Sponsoring a seat costs $150. You can sponsor a specific seat of your choice for $200.
