We've had some dramatic clouds pass through over the recent weeks and I was fortunate to be in town to capture these images of the Spire Center for Performing Arts in downtown Plymouth.
Their website says, "The Greater Plymouth Performing Arts Center, Inc. (GPPAC) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and dedicated to performing arts and educational programs which support the vibrant arts community in the greater South Shore region. The organization founded The Spire, a venue to serve as a mecca for the arts and showcasing music, theatre and dance performances as well as education that supports the performing arts.
Tremendous acoustics, sightlines, and an architecturally beautiful interior are The Spire’s trademark. The 225-seat performance hall features superior acoustics, custom state of the art lighting and sound systems and original period architectural details offering patrons an exceptional performing arts experience."
I have enjoyed many performances there over the past year. Some of my posts about those experiences are at this link.
"The structure was formerly a Methodist church built in 1886 and later the Congregation Beth Jacob’s community center. In October 2012, the Plymouth Town Meeting voted overwhelmingly to appropriate $650K in Community Preservation Funds to acquire and renovate the building. The Town of Plymouth has graciously entrusted GPPAC with the building, now widely known as “The Spire”, with a 100 year near free lease of their treasured property. GPPAC supports the commitment of the Community Preservation Committee in ensuring The Spire’s preservation for future generations."(Source: Spire website).
Support the performing arts here in Plymouth or, wherever you may live in the world.
