Dear Building User,
As you probably know by now, the theatre will be going through some renovations to our rigging system. These types of renovations are especially challenging for a building of this type due to the specialized nature of the work being performed. This project has had it’s fair share of challenges some of which have been minor inconveniences and some that are downright daunting. At this time we are seeking plan approval from the Department of the State Architect.
Between Contractor scheduling and the lead time for equipment manufacture by the installing company, we have determined that it is in the best interest of all involved to open a clear channel of communication to let you know how this project is proceeding We are well aware of event production planning in regards to advertising, equipment rentals, set building or rental requirements, drop rentals, production rights and royalties negotiations and touring schedules. We have determined that in order for us to schedule events in the theatre after March 1, 2008 we need to notify users that due to the ambiguity of the situation there remains the possibility of your event being cancelled at any time.
Not having the ability to provide a clear and concise schedule has left us few options in this area. We will make every effort to notify and keep everyone apprised of any changes, but again we ask that you might want to take this opportunity to investigate other venues or arrangements.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact the theatre.
Ron Newhouse, Manager
