Godot Is In The Lobby

June 21st, Steve reminded me, was the 21st anniversary of Davis Musical Theatre Company's (DMTC's) first performance ("Peter Pan" was the first show!)

In commemoration of the anniversary, today, DMTC implemented "Plan B" for finishing construction of the New Theater. Construction had been at a halt for almost seven months, since November 1, 2004, in the absence of either large donations or secured loans adequate to finish construction. $120,000 of money borrowed from River City Bank was delivered today to Steve Harrison Construction, in order to accelerate construction of the New Theater. Additional financing? Stay tuned for "Plan C"!

Harrison Construction will start working again ASAP: a building inspection focused on the orchestra pit has already been done. The theater will be finished from the front to the back, in order to be audience-ready just as soon as practicable. Still, I wonder if there's enough time to finish the New Theater before the start of the new season?
