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

Priscilla Beach Theatre enjoys a welcome break in the wind and cold and rain and clouds that have been lingering during the past week.  The beautiful granite steps have been installed into the hillside main approach to the theatre.

The outside decking is under construction now. When finished it will wrap around both the southwest and northwest sides of the theatre. The decking also serves as an inclined ramp to afford access for the differently abled.

Priscilla Beach Theatre, which just completed its 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.

This update is the latest edition of a multi-part series which I began in May 2014 to chronicle this extraordinary project to restore a precious part of our American theatrical heritage.
