JAMESTOWN — The main roof at the Spire Theater, 317 E. Third St., Jamestown, is in dire need of replacement so fundraising is underway as well as putting on a festival to preserve this historic structure.

More than 20 acts, bands, performance groups and solo artists have stepped forward to volunteer their talents and will be performing all day from 3 p.m. until around midnight this Saturday. The performances will take place on four stages at the InSpire Development Center complex; the main Spire Theater Stage, The Odyssey Hall Stage, Studio Metro Underground Theater and right outside in the courtyard in front of the theater on Third Street. Tickets to the festival’s four stages are available at inspirejamestown.com for $10. The Olive Garden has also offered to provide a pasta dinner fund-raiser at The Spire on the same day as the festival for an additional $10. Ordering tickets in advance is greatly appreciated and all who buy presale tickets will be entered to win a prize.

The capital campaign recently started and has already raised over two thousand dollars. This is a long way from the $62,000 needed to replace the roof. Donations are being accepted and there is a donation option on The Spire Theater’s Facebook page or visit inspirejamestown.com.

“This historic and under-recognized building was once a church, with delightful and loyal congregants. A local couple fell in love with the space, the energy and history it held, and wanted to safeguard it from potential long-term vacancy or demolition, so they purchased the building, and re[en]visioned it as “The Spire.” It is still very much an active, uplifting, and nurturing space where area residents and youth come to blossom in their pursuits.

The Spire has been a gathering hub for music, theatre, entertainment and community since its inception. It hosts some of the most vibrant, talented and spirited people [in our community], and through their love of sharing a sense of community and their love of the arts, it continues to enrich the lives of those who gather to learn, share, perform, those who take in musical, theatrical, and/or dance training, and those who visit for special events, or take in the various performances. Its very presence here enriches the community, in general.

If you are able, please consider donating to ensure this gem of a building remains the historic beacon of inspiration all who love it, know it to be,” said Kristi Barnes (fan of The Spire).
