To make the transfer of ownership easier, the Cacchios agreed to continue operating the Theatre until such a deal could be reached, and to assist in the operation of the Theatre after its sale to the RTC. By late February 2010 the RTC had raised $45,000, and needed to reach a total of $600,000. After a down payment of $160,000, and paying the full cost of the property, the remaining funds would cover renovations to the building. Over $8,000 was raised in a silent auction on February 28. More than 100 people attended the auction, including Congressman Maurice Hinchey. By March 2010 the RTC had been approved as a 501(c) nonprofit organization.

A benefit on March 28 was expected to raise $5,000.
