Priscilla Beach Theatre Restoration, Priscilla Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

The restoration of  Priscilla Beach Theatre has made great progress to have most exterior work complete before the weather turns wintry. The intensive construction work began in late May of this year. 

The stone revetment has been completed on the northeast side and the fill dirt leveled. Coincidental but, I like the matching sugar maple and construction tractor, too.

Priscilla Beach Theatre, now in their 78th year, is the oldest barn theatre still in operation in the United States. The ongoing restoration work by Owners and Guardians Bob and Sandy Malone will be completed in time for next summer's performance season - "Fiddler on the Roof," and "Chicago" are already scheduled. You can read my other blog posts about the construction progress and stage performances by typing "Priscilla Beach" in the search box in the right side column of this blog.

The latest addition inside is the construction of this apron extension to the stage - it will provide more space for the performers to perform!

The new 8-foot apron (I drew red lines around it) as viewed from above the main stage - for orientation, the stage is at lower right, the audience area is at upper left.

The restroom complex is ready for electrical and finish plumbing before the walls, floors, and ceilings are closed in.

Support local theatre - wherever you live. Without the creative performing arts to enrich our lives, we will all turn into automatons who can only bury our face in our cellphones - though it might already be too late for some.
