This time it is good news. We have the key. Plans are to start construction next week for the 2 walls that make the theater. The big empty building needs to be filled with fun and creativity that will welcome kids, families, classes, and ,yes, even adults.
It really looks different now.In the meantime, we are going to start the big move and I do mean BIG.

This would not include museum, production/workshop area, offices, storage, etc. The best would be 10,000 sq. ft. but will settle for less.
