WALLACE — Turning on the lights at the Sixth Street Melodrama and Theater will no longer include the audible hum of the electricity as the theater has reached its fundraising goal to make the switch to LED lights.

For the last year, people at the Wallace theater have been raffling specialty baskets during productions and courting donations in other ways so they could give their lighting system a refresh.

According to Carol Roberts, the organization raised a total of about $12,826, with the bulk of it stemming from online donations $5,415, and $3,600 from mail-in contributions.
