The Palace Theatre launched a $2.5 million campaign in July to build a new children's education center at Second and Rock streets. The facility will include a 200-seat theater, a lobby, green rooms and dressing rooms, a dance and vocal studio, classrooms, offices, craft rooms and space for storage. The land and $1 million have already been pledged for the project, and the theater must match the $1 million gift by Oct. 1. The building is tentatively scheduled to open in late 2017. 512-869-7469. www.georgetownpalace.com
