$250,000 Gift Honors Visionary Theatre Leader, Levi Fackrell, and Advances the Future of THIRD Street
Las Vegas, NV (April 15, 2026) – THIRD Street Arts & Media Incubator today announced a $250,000 leadership gift from an anonymous founding donor, part of THIRD Street’s early leadership giving community, the Founders Society, in honor of Levi Fackrell, beloved founder and former artistic director of Cockroach Theatre, now known as Vegas Theatre Company.
“Levi Fackrell believed deeply in people, in process, and in the power of theatre to build lasting community,” said the anonymous founding donor. “Supporting THIRD Street in his honor felt like a meaningful way to invest not only in his legacy, but in the future he wanted to see: a permanent home for bold work, creative learning, and artistic connection in Las Vegas. This is an annual commitment, and I hope it encourages others to join early, because the institutions that shape a city are built by those willing to believe in them from the beginning.”
