Please consider sponsoring and investing in our development efforts of this amazing facility that will be utilized by the town, county and region.
Our Development plan begins with our goals. Our goal is to create an arts facility that will benefit each and every citizen of Enfield and the surrounding area. We are a low income region that has not historically had access to arts and entertainment options, artistic training and development or beneficial employment. First step engage a reliable architect. Maurer & Associates, Raleigh NC, is currently preparing architecture and structural plans for the site. Once complete they will prepare historic tax credit application packages to sell our tax credits for investment dollars. We expect a restoration cost in the area of $3.5 million. Our first phase is to equip and update the 2nd floor space into a restaurant/bar facility. Once this is opened then we can continue the development work on the additional floors of the building(s).
I would like to ask you for a small token of support to help provide capital towards this venture. To that, I am asking for even a minimal donation of $25.00 payable to Glass Bead Productions LLC.

With more and more high tech and other employers realizing North Carolina as the top destination for quality of life, Enfield on the outskirts of Raleigh is poised for similar growth and opportunity. More often and partially due to the pandemic there is greater demand for remote working conditions. These folks are moving to small towns like Enfield NC. Having a top quality entertainment venue showcasing US and international films, professional theatrical presentations and musical events will entice greater demand in our area.
The price is right and the time is now -- These opportunity zone funding options and Historic tax credits may not be forever. Come join us today and come for a visit and see what all the buzz is about here in Enfield NC.
Please anyone with interest and desire to help us in our endeavor locally or virtually. We are open to ideas, suggestions or others more talented than us to make this happen.
We thank you.
THE PLAN
The property will be home to:
❖ A restaurant and bar (2nd floor)
❖ A performing arts space for movies, music, and other events (1st floor), including coffeeshop/concession area
❖ A banquet facility with a stage for events, theatre, music and conferences. (3rd floor)
❖ A boutique hotel (in a later phase)
❖ A small boutique distillery and art glass studio (in a later phase)
The goal is to provide a unique destination with multiple income streams unlike any that exists in a North Carolina historic property. Below are first draft architectural drawings of the proposed facility upgrades.
Artist Rendering - A possibility. This envisions the later phase including boutique hotel and distillery on the back side of the theater building. Plus, envisioning rooftop dining/catering space.
