The Wall The Myers Built
Gage and Trenton Myers stopped by last Saturday (June 13th, 2009) and asked if we could use some help. They ended up spending the next few days tearing out and replacing the flooring, ceiling, and outside wall of the downstage right entrance hallway. Thanks guys. The Barn really needed the work done and thanks for doing it in time for the new season.
Curtains Everyone, Curtains
The Peoria Players have very generously donated a main stage curtain to the Playhouse. We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation.
